Grüner Veltliner Ried Kogelberg Terrassen 1ÖTW Erste Lage Kamptal DAC Reserve 2020

The Zöbinger Kogelberg is an outlier of the Waldviertel high plateau, forming a broad north-south ridge marked by the Friedenskreuz and its descent toward the village of Zöbing to the southeast. The south-facing slope is terraced, where the pronounced temperature differences between intense daytime sunshine and the cool Waldviertel nights enhance the fine fruit expression of the wines. Geologically, the site is shaped by primary rock, mica schist, and amphibolite, creating meager, well-drained soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines.

Pale golden yellow, with silver reflections. Delicate notes of honey and apricot, fresh mango, candied mandarin zest. Juicy, elegant, fine nuances of yellow fruit, well-balanced, salty minerality, a hint of ripe stone fruit in the finish, a balanced food companion.

Karl Steininger: The consistency hints at a wine rich in extract. Aromas of honey layered with plenty of herbal spice, dry, dense, and certainly demanding. The high complexity is also evident on the palate. It lingers until the finish with a juicy texture. A showcase Grüner Veltliner with many great years ahead!
