The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm was harvested on the eastern slope bordering the Heiligenstien on loess on top of sandstone, fermented and aged in 300-liter barrels with yeast stirring. Smoke and hazelnut on the nose point to oak and reduction in equal measure. Underneath that, some herbal savor shines through. The palate comes in with pristine acidity, edged with stone-fruit ripeness and a smooth, fluid mouthfeel. The yeasty texture is a backdrop for this rounded yet immensely contoured wine that represents freshness, understatement and length. (Bone-dry)(AK)
