Veyder-Malberg 2023 Wachau Gruner Veltliner Ried Hochrain

Planted in 1987-1992 Ried Hochrain is a single single vineyard on terraced slopes in Wösendorf on deep loess soils. Harvested over numerous pickings, the grapes are macerated then pressed over 6-8 hours and left to settled in tank for a day. They are fermented with native yeasts and then aged for 6 months in 1500L Stockinger barrels. They undergo malolactic and are fined but not filtered. There is a strong golden apple, pear aroma with peppery spices and an herbaceous finish. These are great young but even more delicious with some bottle age on them.
