Weingut Markus Huber Gruner Veltliner Ried Alte Setzen - 2023 (750ml)

This grand cru vineyard lies on a gently inclined east-facing slope with silty calcareous soil over a two-meter thick loess layer, underlain by limestone and dolomite conglomerate. Grapes are selected at optimal ripeness, crushed, and have 12 hours of skin contact before pressing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, followed by 8 months of batonnage, split between acacia wood casks and stainless steel. The wine is an intensive yellow with greenish hues, offering aromas of herbal spice, tobacco, and ripe fruit. The palate is concentrated, well-balanced, and features ripe acidity.

"Brilliant yellow with greenish reflections. The nose is expressive, offering a broad spectrum from delicate herbal spice and tobacco notes to ripe fruit aromas. The palate is richly concentrated, with impressive depth, vibrant acidity, and a well-balanced structure. Versatile with a wide range of dishes, this wine pairs well with all kinds of meat, especially spicy and robust preparations. It is an excellent match for Asian cuisine and complements red-rind cheeses beautifully."
