Funkstille Gruner Veltliner
Subtle exotic hints, ripe pear and fresh citrus flavours, it's a dry wine with complex flavours.

The Vineyard
Sustainably certified by agroVet, they also produce their own fertiliser. They produce their own seeds to
sow cover crops in the vineyards and use straw from the fields in the young vineyards to protect the vines from dry stress. The grapes are harvested carefully, early in the morning by hand and machine from 15
year + old trellis grown vines in Weinviertel within the
Niederösterreich region which are sited on loess, clay, granite mix soils and where the climate is cool continental. Vineyards are sited at approximately 230 to 300m ASL and are mostly orientated South, South
East and South West, on terraces with an incline of between 10 and 40 degrees.
The winery is energy neutral, producing energy from their Biogas plant and Photovoltaic system which produces more energy than is required. The grapes are pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tank with selected yeasts for 15 to 25 days at controlled temperatures which get warmer the nearer they get to the end of fermentation. There is no malolactic fermentation but the wine benefits from 8 weeks of lees contact. Gentle fining and cold stabilisation.

This wine had a lot of flavour and was very smooth.
