Grüner Veltliner

2024

1ÖTW Erste Lage Kamptal DAC

Bright golden yellow with silver highlights. Hints of ripe yellow pome fruit, a touch of acacia blossoms, a hint of sponge cake, underpinned by candied orange zest. Complex and full-bodied, with ripe mango, a delicate hint of honeydew melon, and a subtle balance of acidity; powerful and mineral on the finish, with very good length. Already fully developed, with aging potential.

Falstaff Wine Guide 2026/27

The soil here differs from that of all other sites in the region. At the 300 metre level, preserved calcareous, clayey marine deposits are found. This soil is similar to that of the famous Château Petrus in Pomerol, and produces an extremely dense wine, although it is difficult to work with. The elevation contributes good acidity structure also in warm vintages and late harvests.

The 2024 vintage
The winter of 2023/24 was mild and relatively wet. Spring lived up to its name at the beginning and favored early budding with regular rainfall which further encouraged vegetation. This was followed by the proverbial, moody April: after a summery first half, the weather turned and a cool northerly current made for almost wintry days and nights. Late frosts in the lowlands were the logical consequence and this time led to some yield losses in the east of Langenlois, e.g. at Kammerner Lamm, while vineyards in the south and west of Langenlois, that we would normally be more concerned about, were largely spared. The cold shock seemed to have...

Maturation

This wine is usually fermented in used (2 - 3 years old) 300 liter Austrian oak barrels. For further maturation, it is racked into 2.500 l casks (also 2 - 3 years old).

Food pairing recommendation

Exotic dishes like curry and stir-fried dishes; typical Austrian dishes like Wiener Schnitzel, and roasted goose, duck or pork; goose or duck liver with vegetables and fruit; calf’s liver with apples and onions etc.
