Pale green yellow, silver reflections. Delicately underlain with lime zest, fine white apple fruit, a hint of meadow herbs. Juicy, elegant, green apple, racy structure, mineral-salty finish, a lively food companion.

Although this is slightly more full-bodied than previous vintages (and is therefore not allowed to be called Federspiel), this has plenty of red apple, garden herb and green bean freshness. Sustainable. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Lemon, lime and aloe are layered with a cool rush of chalky mineral notes. Silky and streaming in feel, with singed thyme and sage on the smoky, crystalline-pure finish. Drink now through 2030. 1,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.

The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Hiner der Burg was picked right behind Weissenkirchen castle on eroded and old Alpine deposits. It opens vividly with freshly cut green pear. The palate is milder and rounder than this fresh nose suggests. The body is fluid, slender and flowing, with a rounded texture that has more edges of green pear peel. (Dry)
