Grüner Veltliner Hasel 2007

Yield:
65hl per hectare

Harvest date:
September 17th, at 20.2° Brix.

Location and single-vineyard description:
Good site extending on rolling hills of medium height and sloping to the south. Its deep loess soils lend themselves perfectly to growing the classic Kamptal Grüner Veltliner type.

 

Vinification:
No maceration, gentle pressing; the must was preclarified by settling for 20 hours, followed by fermentation with cultured yeast and storage in steel tanks.

Wine analysis:

  • 12 vol.% alcohol
  • 6.5 %o acidity
  • 0.9 g/l residual sugar

Organoleptic characteristics:
Light straw-yellow; there is a bunch of spices on the nose, with underlying yellow fruit aromas, apple and some maracuja, delicate white pepper; the appley flavors are wrapped in a spicy veil. This succulent and mouthfilling offering glides really easily across the palate, with a nice echo. Good value for money. A perfect match with seafood and summer salads.
