Weingut Dr. Salomon Ried Wachtberg DAC Kremstal Erste Lage Grüner Veltliner 2023

A magnificent Grüner Veltliner from the single vineyard Wachtberg. The south-facing terraces are located directly behind the old town of Krems. The vines grow on loess-dominated mixed soils with elements of primary rock. Fermentation lasted around eight weeks, after which the wine matured on the fine lees until shortly before bottling in July 2024. The Grüner Veltliner presents itself in a light green-yellow colour and already shows a beautiful accessibility. The nose combines herbaceous, slightly tobacco notes with hints of hay flowers, yellow apple, mirabelle plum and a touch of orange peel. On the palate, the wine is balanced, delicate and silky, concentrated yet refined. It has been awarded 95 points by James Suckling.
