Grüner Veltliner Langenloiser Tonmineral 2022
Every place where wine is grown is unique in terms of location, geology, and wine culture. Our village wine (Ortswein) tradition is centuries old and the wines reflect this geological, microclimatic and cultural spectrum. The historic town of Langenlois is not only the center of the Kamptal region but also our home. Here, the Grüner Veltliner grapes mainly grow on loess and clay soils composed of varying combinations of clay minerals, limestone, dolomite, feldspar, quartz, and mica. They stretch from the southeast of the town to the high plateau in the west. This elegant Veltliner, bottled after six months of lees aging, is characterized by pithy fruit and spicy minerality. It unmistakably reflects its origin and the palate of the people living here.
