Weinrieder Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben

Weinrieder Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben from Weinviertel Austria. Wine made from 50 year old vines. Full of ripe fruit, concentrated, peppery, soft sweetness, melts in the mouth.

Grüner Veltliner is the grape of Austria and is also called weiβgipfel there. Grüner veltliner is most commonly planted in the area around Wachau, Krems, Langelois, Falkenstein and Retz. It is a grape that produces slightly pungent, pleasant, dry, fresh, fruity and easy to drink wines, but never top quality wines. Austria still has 3 veltliners with dark skin: roter, brauner and frühroter. The first 2 are only planted in small numbers; Frühroter (the skin is more red than black) is planted slightly more often, usually in the Weinvertel. The acidity is lower than that of the grüner veltliner.
