"Austria's emblematic grape variety sublimated by Markus Huber in this intense, complex cuvée!"
"What a fragrant, elegant gruner, expressing sage, rosemary, white peach, lemon and white pepper. Intense and complex, very structured with tannins and acidity, but only medium-bodied and very well integrated. Long and firm. Made from organically grown grapes. Best after 2024. (James Suckling 2023) - screw cap

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2024) 93/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Grüner Veltliner Ried Zwirch 1ÖTW 2022 has a fine, smoky nose reminiscent of iodine. On the palate, its juicy fullness is supported by fine, mineral acidity and stimulating salinity. Its flavor is complex and persistent. 13% declared alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg. 2027-2040

About the wine:
Medium yellow-green color with silver highlights. Delicate white apples, hint of mango, mineral touch, candied orange zest in the background. Juicy, elegant, fine fruit, well-integrated acidity, mineral and saline finish, a multi-faceted gastronomic wine with good ageing potential.
