Still young and a little closed, showing some flintiness along with aromas of apricots, grapefruit and beeswax. Smoked almonds. It,s medium- to full-bodied and deliciously creamy with both biscuity and crushed stone elements that carry this wine a long way. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Even better after 2024. Screw cap.

The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Gaisberg is grown on loess and mica schist. It was whole-bunch-pressed and fermented half in stainless steel, half in both acacia and used oak. This contains a small proportion of Riesling from the same site to add more freshness. The nose has the very slightest sense of cumin at first, followed by both citrus and green pear peel. The palate also dips into this savory pool of herb, spice and citrus but adds a smoother, fruitier, edgier element. This is subtle—nothing here is obvious, but it quietly gets under the skin. A citrus tang rings along with the spice. (Bone-dry)
