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

“What a fragrant and elegant Gruner, 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

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the 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 fine, mineral acidity and a stimulating salinity. Its flavor is complex and lingering. Declared alcohol content: 13%. Screw cap. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg. 2027–2040

Falstaff

Wine rated (2023 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

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