Soellner Wogenrain Gruner Veltliner 2018

Drink now through to 2022. Serve chilled.

Toni and Dani Soellner work a small number of plots in the hills of Donauland which look out over the Danube river valley. The Soellner family have a passion for the natural environment and follow biodynamic agricultural practices in their vineyards. The estate has also been classified as organic by the Austrian government since 1997. Their vines are planted on terraces on silty loess soils which give a distinctive minerality and pure character to their wines.

The Gruner Veltliner grapes used for the Wogenrain are picked by hand and undergo a slow fermentation in temperature controlled tanks to preserve varietal character and freshness. The wine is then matured for a short time in oak barrels and kept until the spring in stainless steel tanks to allow it to settle before bottling.

The result is a buzzy and crisp white wine that showcases the pure, clean character of the Gruner Veltliner variety. On the nose there are delicate aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, dry herbs and ripe peaches, while the palate offers a mouthwatering freshness, light body and saline minerality. A great choice to drink with leafy green salads, herby roasted chicken or asparagus risotto.
