Grüner Veltliner Ried Further Gottschelle Beerenauslese

Origin and Terroir The grapes originate from the single vineyard “Gottschelle”. First mentioned as “Gotschali” in 1341, it is situated at the foot of the Göttweiger Berg. The south-facing old Danube terrace has a mighty loess layer with high proportions of gneiss and granite in the subsoil. The vines of this vineyards are approximately 50 years old and still produce very characteristic Veltliner grapes. The combination of the well-suited soil and the micro climate contribute well to the development of this Grüner Veltliner. Vinification The Veltliner grapes for this Beerenauslese were picked in mid November and were gently processed. The steel tank fermentation was completed in a temperature-controlled environment. By the middle of January the wine was racked and allowed to develop its full aroma on the fine lees before being bottled. Tasting notes Strong golden yellow with bright reflections; in the nose tones of full ripe apples and fine flower honey. The Prädikatswein shows itself on the palate with a juicy fruit and a delicate caramel note. In the finish it has a convincing length on the palate. Drink and Meal Recommendation Pairs perfectly with desserts, as well as with flavorful and mature cheeses.
