Concentrated and very elegant with great mineral energy, this is a stunning gruner veltliner for the 2024 vintage that has all the spice and herbal complexity we look for in these wines. The superlong finish has delicate creaminess and fantastic wet-stone intensity. Sustainable. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Light yellow green, silver reflections. Fresh herbal savouriness, fine yellow tropical fruit, delicate hints of mango, candied orange zest, mineral undertones. Complex, juicy, elegant, nuances of apricot, fine acidity, white nougat, very good length, already very harmonious and accessible, mineral and with a secure and certain ageing potential.

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Kollmütz Smaragd, grown on weathered gneiss, comes from old vines between 50 and 80 years old. Gentle reduction still holds sway with its flintiness. The palate is exquisitely peppery, concentrated, salty and vivid. All this unfolds on a slender body with flow, contour and superbly mouthwatering juiciness. Tension and pepper are the hallmarks.
