Ried Käferberg
Grüner Veltliner
2022
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW
Very fresh with a subtle but nonetheless mind-blowing varietal bouquet, showing hints of hay-flowers, yeast and fresh cuts of pome fruit, then quince jelly, citrus peel, aniseed and some ginger spice; super fresh & dry, medium-bodied, balanced and densely woven, with a fine-grained texture. Hints of fruit (see above) clinging to some fine phenols still to develop, very agile and persistent, with an enormous ageing potential.
The soil here differs from that of all other sites in the region. At the 300 metre level, preserved calcareous, clayey marine deposits are found. This soil is similar to that of the famous Château Petrus in Pomerol, and produces an extremely dense wine, although it is difficult to work with. The elevation contributes good acidity structure also in warm vintages and late harvests.
