Description

Product description for Nikolaihof Grüner Veltliner Steinterrassen trocken 2012 (bio)Bottled in 2023.

Wine Information

The Grüner Veltliner Steinterrassen comes from various vineyards in Mautern: warmer sites with a high loess content (especially in the sites east of the town (Silberbichl, Am Zaum)) and cooler, north-facing vineyards (Bischofspoint, in the Weingebirge with a high amphibolite/paragneiss content), partly surrounded by forest. The Grüner Veltliner Steinterrassen is a Federspiel-quality wine, bottled after eleven years of aging in large wooden barrels.

Colour

Light golden yellow with green reflections

Nose

The 2012 Grüner Veltliner Steinterrassen is a wine in which the fruit is largely hidden behind the herbal spice and the light waxy notes that come with the long aging period. The wine appears Fragrant, deep, slightly zesty, and carried by stony and slightly earthy notes.

Palate

On the palate, the Grüner Veltliner initially appears round and silky, until the insistent acidity becomes increasingly evident. Here, too, the spice of dried herbs, stone, and zest blends, supported by citrus notes, and culminates in a long finish in which the waxy notes of the eleven years of aging once again play a role. All of this appears very complete and balanced.
