The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Steinertal Smaragd, situated between two lateral valleys that channel cool air, gives this terraced site of gneiss higher day-to-night amplitude and lower daytime temperatures. Gentle spice brings white pepper and crushed fern on the nose. The palate arrives with perfect tension, peppery fern, fine citrus freshness and beautiful concentration. Citrus is key this year on this wonderfully long and incisive Grüner.
Product Description:
"This extremely complex vineyard offers optimal terrain for both Veltliner and Riesling. It faces slightly southwest, so it still receives some warmth in the evenings, although this is tempered by air currents from the north. Soil density, as well as temperature within the vineyard, varies considerably. The foundation of the Grüner Veltliner lies in the lower and deeper terraces, where, despite a somewhat creamier texture, vibrant acidity and profound minerality set the tone.. Complex aroma profile, dominated by spice and cool herbal aromas; precise body; compact and salty to the palate and beyond; long and lasting"- Winery
