White WineWeingut Geyerhof Grüner Veltliner Steinleithn 1ÖTW 2020
The Steinleithn vineyard, spanning 1.4 hectares and facing southwest, is characterized by its impoverished soil. The vineyard's name, with "Stein" translating to "stone," is apt given its scant topsoil. Beneath lies a core rich in feldspar, quartz, and mica, resulting in a late ripening, often not until November. While the common belief is that Grüner prefers moisture and Riesling shuns it, this site defies convention, striking a balance. Harvested later and fermented to dryness, the resulting wine boasts approximately 14% alcohol content. Yet, it leans toward savory notes without sacrificing acidity. Far from being a mere stand-in for Sauvignon Blanc, this Grüner pairs splendidly with hearty dishes like Tafelspitz (boiled beef) or roasted poultry. While we're fortunate to present the 2018 vintage, it's a wine that, given the means, would benefit greatly from further aging.
