"Austria's iconic grape variety, brought to life by Markus Huber in this intense and complex wine!"

“What a fragrant and elegant Grüner Veltliner, expressing notes of sage, rosemary, white peach, lemon, and white pepper. Intense and complex, very well-structured with tannins and acidity, yet only medium-bodied and very well-integrated. Long and firm. Made from organically grown grapes. Best after 2024. ” (James Suckling 2023) - screw cap

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

The Grüner Veltliner Ried Zwirch 1ÖTW 2022 has a delicate, smoky nose with hints of iodine. On the palate, its juicy fullness is supported by a fine, mineral acidity and a stimulating salinity. Its flavor is complex and lingering. 13% alcohol by volume. Screw cap. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg. 2027–2040

Wine rated (2023 guide) 94/100

About wine:

Medium yellow-green color with silvery highlights. Delicate white fruit notes, hints of mango and minerality, with candied orange zest in the background. Juicy, elegant, and subtly fruity, with well-integrated acidity and a mineral, salty finish—a multifaceted wine perfect for fine dining with good aging potential.
