Current condition

The wine shows fresh citrus, white pepper and mineral notes with good structure typical of the Loiserberg terroir.

High natural acidity and quality vineyard site (Loiserberg in Kamptal) allow this Grüner Veltliner to age gracefully, evolving from primary crisp fruit into complex mineral and tertiary aromas.
