Very 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)
