Grüner Veltliner Urgestein Natural 2020
Biologischer Weinbau Demeter Weingut Doris & Hager Matthias

This Grüner Veltliner grows on the Mollandser Riede Steinleithen, a rocky site at about 350m above sea level, which provides noticeable minerality in the wine. This also explains the name Urgestein, we call it Natural because 10% of it was fermented on the mash and the wine was bottled without fining or filtration. After spontaneous fermentation, 90% was aged in steel tanks, the 10% mash fermentation was stored in small wooden barrels before the two wines were bottled together with a minimal addition of sulphur. The result is a spicy, full-bodied Veltliner, beautifully mineral and creamy on the palate with a long finish. A great food companion.
