Diemersdal Grüner Veltliner 2022

A lemon-lime colour, inviting aromas of kiwi, stone fruit and lime with sweet melon, ripe pear and white pepper notes. A medium bodied wine, with a concentrated palate and a long lingering mineral finish.

Gentle slopes exposed to the micro-climate of the Atlantic Ocean results in the vineyards being influenced by the cool air flows and morning mists so typical of a maritime climate. In summer, a firm south-easter wind fans the vines ensuring temperature and sunny ripening conditions. Along with dryland farming on soils of decomposed granite with a high clay content, the vines offer intensely flavored fruit, resulting in wines of elegance, character and structure.

The traditional Austrian variety was picked in the early hours of the morning. The juice had 6 hours skin contact, before pressing. The wine was made in a non-reductive style and fermented between 14 – 16 degrees C and fermented with a traditional Grüner Veltliner-yeast from Austria.

6 months post fermentation lees contact, stirred up once a week to enhance mouthfeel and concentration.
