Review Date: 09/2024Very fresh and crisp, with plenty of substance. There’s green peppercorn and garden herb character on the barely medium-bodied palate. So clean and straight in the long, herbal and appley finish. A cuvee from around 20 vineyard sites. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is harvested across the estate in varying sites, some with a two-week difference in harvest date. Rich yeast, imbued with russet pear peel, is fragrant on the nose, giving away a slight sense of pepper. The palate is juicy and ripe but has a lovely stony aspect amidst its creaminess. There is concentration, savoriness and well-contained but undoubted power, especially for a Federspiel. More air brings more savoriness with a lovely echo of white pepper. (Bone-dry)(AK)

Juicy star fruit and nectarine are flecked with sweet alpine herb and floral notes in this fresh, precise Grüner. Dried spice and mineral underpinnings make this pleasing and nicely firm. Drink now through 2029.
Notes
92-94pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Pale chartreuse yellow with a silver sheen. Discreet notes of yellow apple, refined meadow herbs, a hint of orange zest. Juicy, elegant, mineral, tight-knit, a refined acidity, balanced, finely spiced, a salty finish, in an easy-drinking style.-Peter Moser"(06/2024)
