Weingut Hofbauer-Schmidt Ried Kellerberg Weinviertel DAC Reserve 2021

A great Grüner Veltliner with high ratings at a moderate price. Falstaff, AlaCarte and the AWC wine rating all agree on this. And we can't stop raving about it either...

The Kellerberg vineyard in Hohenwarth is located in the western Weinviertel region and borders the Kamptal. This creamy and fully balanced Grüner Veltliner in the reserve category comes from this warm location with gravel soils.

The grapes are harvested by hand from 40-year-old vines, delicately matured on the fine lees in large wooden barrels The fabulous 2021 vintage is now beginning to exhibit its full potential. Concentrated aromas of pears and fresh meadow herbs. Full-bodied and flattering on the palate with a fine fruity flavour. Powerful and perfectly balanced to the last sip. Never overwhelming, glides smoothly over the palate. Can easily be aged for another 10 years.

Pairs well with strong sauces, pork, white game meat and cheese. A crowd pleaser.
