Description

Product description for Nikolaihof Hefeabzug, Grüner Veltliner trocken 2016 (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

Fresh, light lemon yellow

Nose

Inspiring Veltliner aromas of a vegetal mixture of fennel, celery, asparagus, and spring onion, complemented by fresh chervil and coriander leaves, bread crust, and freshly mown grain. A variety of aromas captivates me. I automatically think of spring, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Palate

Stimulating, watery, and easy to drink in the mouth. The stony undertones create a refined, mineral background that perfectly complements the astonishingly long finish. A serious wine whose freshness and simultaneous maturity, and its drinking pleasure, should not be underestimated.
