CARNUNTUM | ÖSTERREICH
GV Alte Reben 2018
a textbook example of how grüner Veltliner from carnuntum tastes: serious, spicy and concentrated. Advanced ripeness, which brings complexity, balance and length. Fine and tightly-woven finish.

- site & soil LOESS soils are sand-like loam sediments, which the wind transported to the lower reaches of sloped sites after the Ice Age. More than other varieties, here the Grüner Veltliner achieves its greatest degree of complexity, complemented with spice and creamy texture.
- Harvest middle to the end of September, with multiple passes, hand-selection of the ripest clusters
- fermentation 80% in steel tank at 20°C, 10% in Burgundian pièces
- élevage in steel tank and wooden cask on the gross lees
- Alcohol 14.2%vol
- residual sugar 3.7g/l
- acidity 5.3g/l
FALSTAFF
92 Points
Outstanding with the great classics of Viennese cuisine, like Tafelspitz, Backhendl and Wiener Schnitzel, but also quite elegant and invigorating with dishes from the Asian kitchen.
