A perfect growing season intensified the flavours for this truly noble Austrian grape variety. We handpicked the grapes in several stages, including a late harvest quality for an opulent, concentrated wine.

Tasting Notes +
This rich but dry ‘GV’ is reminiscent of the iconic “Smaragd” (English: Emerald), the best of the best and highest classification from the native Wachau. A haunting wine, complex and concentrated with an amazingly fresh vibrancy. Flavours of rock melon and quince are complemented by honeyed aromas and spicy undertones. Hints of fresh ginger and a finely balanced mineral backbone make it a contender for ageing.

The Real Review – 95 points
“Possibly the most concentrated grüner veltliner I've tasted and also one of the most complex. Fermented in 500-litre puncheons and aged on the lees for 15 months. A rich, mouth-filling wine with toast, brioche, honey, white pepper and citrus flavours. Impressive.” Bob Campbell
