Grüner Veltliner Schenkenbichl Erste Lage

Austria
Kamptal
2021

Amphibolites meet limestone in the terraces of the south-exposed Langenlois Schenkenbichl. The name Schenkenbichl derives from "Geschenk", which means "present", and Stef and Alwin are grateful to savor the gifts of this vineyard. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand.The mash then macerates for several hours to extract the deep aromas from the berries.The naturally sedimented must ferments in 1000-liter wooden barrels made of local oak with natural yeasts.

"This has intriguing notes of cumin seeds, mango stones and almond honey nougat. It’s full-bodied and creamy, almost buttery, with a soft and honeyed finish."
