Ried Wechselberg
Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC 2023
Yield: 40 hl per hectare
Harvest Date: 25. September, at 18,5° KMW.
Location and single-vineyard description: The mighty Wechselberg rises on the eastern side of the Strassertal, facing to the south. Its weathered soils take their origin in the crystalline of the Bohemian Mass and crystalline slate. Its altitude creates cool nights to alternate with hot summer days. This ensures the development of excellent aromas and flavors in the grapes.
Vinification: Maceration for 5 hours, cooled fermentation in a steel tank. Maturation for „sur lie“ until botteling in the beginning in March.
Wine analysis: 12.5 % vol. alcohol, 5,4 ‰ acidity, 1,8 g/l residual sugar
Tasting notes: Intense straw-yellow; a fine-scented classic with vegetal spice, minty-peppery coolness, ripe pomaceous fruit; on the palate, this flows smoothly along, displaying subtle minerality , well supported by its acidity and perfectly balanced; highly reflecting the region. Goes beautifully with fish and spicy dishes.
