Description

Product description for Nikolaihof Hefeabzug, Grüner Veltliner trocken 2013 (bio)Archive Release 2024.

Origin

A significant portion of the fruit comes from the Steiner Goldberg, a smaller portion from Mautern. The Steiner Goldberg vineyard was first mentioned in 1302. It lies at an altitude of 300 to 380 meters above sea level, overlooking Krems. The slopes face southeast, south, and east. The subsoil consists of crystalline rock such as paragneiss, mica schist, and quartzite. This creates a loamy-sandy, dry, and permeable, silty soil with a high stone content. The soil is lime-free and acidic, except in the south of the vineyard, where loess occurs. In Mautern, silty soils with loess and clay predominate.

Colour

Strong yellow tones, close to light copper-gold.

Nose

With astonishing, distinctive lime and lemon aromas of candied fruit. The terroir, or more precisely, the tertiary notes, set the tone here. But also undergrowth, moss, hay, dried grain, roasted hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds.

Palate

At first glance, the taste is dominated by a touch of sweetness (old-school residual sweetness). This makes the wine very delicate on the palate, complete and creamy, round, with a pleasant flow that empties the glass faster than you’d expect.
