Tasting notes
Slightly higher vineyards (250-300 m) and more limestone in the soil. Fermented in large Stockinger oak. Terrific spicy intensity on the nose, power and spice on the palate, with a firm grip suggestsing some skin contact. A big wine but still with the freshness to balance. Deep and tangy. Great length.

Scents and juicy palate presence of ripe apple, pear, grapefruit and quince could come from a Riesling. But this wine’s formidable body, glycerol-rich feel, and darkly brooding variations on site-typical mineral and spice – ash, crushed stone, Burley tobacco, peat, chard, black pepper – are decidedly Grüner Veltliner. The multifaceted, seriously sustained finish successfully integrates apple seed bitterness and doesn’t neglect its duty to refresh.
Tasted as a sample in March, the 2015 Grüner Veltliner Kellerberg displays a rich and ripe bouquet leading to a full-bodied, rich and juicy, creamy textured palate with power and intensity. The wine was still not bottled at VieVinum in June.
