Did somebody say lobster thermidor? A noble grüner veltliner that is so ripe (apricot, mirabelle and just a hint of papaya), but every bit as subtle, with a very polished texture on the rich palate. Drink or hold.

Earth and salty yeast come together on the nose, promising texture and savoriness. The palate then adds a lovely Russet pear ripeness and roundness that sits well with the earthy, concentrated, yeasty backdrop that holds pithy concentration and lip-smacking freshness. This is lovely, round and expressive.

From the bottom of the cru and on loess soils, the 2019 Ried Loibenberg Grüner Veltliner is open and refined on the nose, with ripe and elegant yellow-fleshed fruit aromas and finely flinty notes. Elegant and round, with fine and ripe, lush fruit, fine acidity and an intense and mouth-filling finish, this is a Loibenberg that gets its phenolic grip from the maceration. 14% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.
