2019 Grüner Veltliner Single Vineyard

From Pulkau and aged for 4.5 years in a large stück oak vat, the 2017 Grüner Veltliner Single Vineyard shows an intense yellow color with a greenish hue. The nose is spectacularly complex, very elegant and refined yet dense and far from being just fruity. On the palate, this is a seamless, refined and highly elegant Veltliner that's everything but Veltliner. The 2017 is full-bodied, elegant and entirely driven by its terroir. The finish is intense, dense and juicy, refined and saline. This is the greatest Veltliner I have ever tasted from the Weinviertel. (Wine Advocate)

Fantastic maturing nose of candied citrus peel, caramelized pears, toasted nuts, floral honey and mushrooms. The textural complexity of the medium- to full-bodied palate is no less exciting. I love the interplay of delicate candied fruit character and mineral acidity in the long, super-elegant finish. Drink or hold.
95/100 Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com

From very old vines in the Pulkautal/Weinviertel and aged on the fine lees in a single 1,000-liter Slawonian oak foudre for four years, the 2019 Grüner Veltliner Single Vineyard opens with a deep, clear and elegant, refined and spicy bouquet of ripe yellow fruits. Full-bodied, rich and elegant on the palate, this is a powerful and quite mighty, forceful Veltliner with ripe acidity, fine tannins yet also some bitters and not the energy of the St Georg Veltiner. It's impressive yet less. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in May 2024. - The Wine Advocate, 94/100
