92pts James Suckling

An excellent, barely medium-bodied gruner veltliner, and a remarkable achievement for the 2024 vintage. Brimming with plum, summer-vegetable and green-pepper aromas. Beautiful balance. Sustainable. Vegan.

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel offers a cross-section of the estate. Reduction crackles with delicious flint on the nose, while subtle yeast comes into play. The palate is yeasty, with lovely concentration and a smooth backdrop. It is juicy and beautifully rich, with savory umami on a svelte body.

Winemaker Notes

Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria and produces a dry white wine with savory aromas, spicy flavors, and good acidity. Grüner Veltliner Federspiel from the Wachau is a medium-weight wine and is fresh in style with notes of green apple, lemon, radish, and arugula.
Grüner Veltliner’s bright acidity and savory character make it an ideal partner to mildly spiced Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese flavors. Fish and shellfish are accented by Grüner Veltliner’s citrus and mineral profile while its acidity cuts the richness of pork or ham. It can also work well with foods that are difficult to pair such as bitter greens and asparagus.
