"The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Aus den Gärten Federspiel is picked across Mautern. There is the slightest touch of reduction. The palate offers fine, almost crystalline freshness and a brightness that is unusual. Everything here is crunchy, bright and fresh, so clean-cut and snappy. As bracing as a spring morning." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge” dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving it a creamy texture." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
