Sohm & Kracher St. Georg Gruner Veltliner 2019

Description

St. Georg is the village where the second parent grape of Grüner Veltliner was discovered in 2000; Traminer is the mother vine and Sankt Georgen is the father. This site is cooler in temperature, sits mid-slope and is planted on pure limestone. Inspired by Burgundian winemaking techniques, the result of this wine is a very unique-almost Chablisienne-style-of Grüner Veltliner. It is clean and beautifully textured with fresh melon and rhubarb aromatics. Sohm & Kracher recommends decanting this wine. Aged for four years in barriques and 1,000-liter foudres, the 2019 Grüner Veltliner St. Georg is from Muschelkalk and slate soils in Sankt Georgen, Leithaberg. The intensely yellow-colored wine opens with a deep, rich and intense, elegant, tropical but also yeasty bouquet. Full-bodied, rich and powerful on the palate, this is an elegant, refined, seamlessly textured St Georgen with intense and lush tropical fruit but also the nervy and refreshing lemony/chalky character of the site.
