Gruner Veltliner 2020
From some of Austria’s oldest grapevines, this Grüner Veltliner comes from a slightly warmer sub-zone of the Kremstal. Here, unique Loess soils allow the vines to spider deep into the earth in search of water and nutrients. The result is a prismatic and complex Grüner with incredible acidity and vibrant flavors.
