Tasting notes
The 2020 Ried Kellerberg Grüner Veltliner is fascinatingly coolish, complex and precise on the leafy nose that shows tobacco aromas along with peppery and very spicy notes with graphite and lemon notes. Racy on the start, this is a piquant, firm and close-meshed, very mineral yet also juicy Kellerberg GV with lovely grip, tension and lingering salinity. The finish is pleasantly bitter. A great wine! Tasted as a sample in June 2021, to be bottled in July. 2020 is the first vintage Lucas Pichler doesn't use the predicates of the Vinea anymore since he left the group earlier this year.

Very deep and complex nose of white chocolate, grilled green beans, yuzu and a touch of exotic fruit. Enormously concentrated on the full-bodied palate, but with enormous mineral character that lifts this bold structure and makes the wine glide over your palate. Great aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
