When looking at the soil, hardly anyone would expect that there is a Veltliner here that is unparalleled in terms of its expressiveness. The soil is very sparse with little ground contact. Here and there the bare rock peeps out between the vines, which does credit to the name STEINLEITHN. The roots of the vines encounter granulite directly. Fat wines grow on different soils. The late harvest and very low yields make for a wonderful complexity. Fermentation and aging takes place in steel tanks, the wine rests on the lees for at least 20 months. In addition to apricots and pears, the bouquet also includes hay and herbs. Juicy and fresh in the mouth with wonderful minerality. The structure is tight and complex. This wine with its lively interplay of fruit and acid has unbelievably good aging potential. A great Veltliner!
