Winemaker's Notes
Sophisticated nuances of spices, ripe apples and tropical fruit on the nose. A powerful texture on the palate with mineral salts, luscious apple fruit and structure. The wine is commanding, full bodied yet soft and luxurious. Elegant, mouthwatering acidity and fruit notes create dynamic tension on the lingering finish.

Points & Reviews:
16.5 Points - Jancis Robinson:
"Organic. Just joined respekt-BIODYN. 40-year-old vines on limestone. Hand-harvested. Spontaneous fermentation in tank. Long lees-ageing.
Pure, limey citrus. Intense and very crisp. Piercing purity and great length. Linear, tense." - Julia Harding MW (Apr 2023)
Give this a bit of time to open up and this Burgundy-like version of Grüner Veltliner will reward you. It features a round profile, with nice verve to the notes of peach and apricot (which are accented by wax, hazelnut and vanilla spice). It is complex and long, with a seductive aftertaste.
From 40+-year-old vines on shale limestone soils in a south-facing vineyard and vinified in stainless steel, the 2021 Ried Hermannschachern Grüner Veltliner opens with an intense and refreshing mineral and limestone-driven bouquet of white fruits and sur lie notes. Aged on the lees until April and bottled in late spring of this year, this is a round, vivacious and elegant Veltliner with playful acidity and fine phenolic grip on the stimulating and saline finish. This is a supple Veltliner with an aromatic, juicy and finely tannic finish.
