2019 Grüner Veltliner St. Georg

Helles Grüngelb. Würzige Veltliner Nase, reife Apelfrucht, zarte Kräuteraromatik und etwas exotik, unterlegt mit Zitrusaromen. Saftig, elegante Textur, feine Extraktsüße, lebendige Säurestruktur, im Nachhall zart nach Zitrusfrucht, reife Birnen- und Apfelfrucht und weißer Pfeffer im Abgang.

A rich and very complex, full-bodied dry white that has a Burgundian textural complexity, but also a very Austrian character. I love the interplay of toasted nut, dry straw and floral honey aromas with the flint and lentil notes. Long, complete finish. Still youthful for five years of age. Drink or hold.

Aged for four years in barriques and 1,000-liter foudres, the 2019 Grüner Veltliner St. Georg is from Muschelkalk and slate soils in Sankt Georgen, Leithaberg. The intensely yellow-colored wine opens with a deep, rich and intense, elegant, tropical but also yeasty bouquet. Full-bodied, rich and powerful on the palate, this is an elegant, refined, seamlessly textured St Georgen with intense and lush tropical fruit but also the nervy and refreshing lemony/chalky character of the site. This is not only the greatest wine from friends Aldo Sohm and Gerhard Krachher but also a highlight in the white wine canon of the Burgenland. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
