Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Im Weingebirge Mautern 2021 750 ML

The wine comes from soils with loam, loess and paragneiss. Lemon yellow – The aroma of the 2021 Federspiel Im Weingebirge is somewhat reminiscent of cooling biscuit dough, biscuits and a little caramel with lemon curd, ripe apple and physalis with a slight hint of ripeness.The wine has lost some of the racy character it had a few years ago. Instead, it has gained in length and depth, ebbs away only very slowly, becomes increasingly salty and fine at the end.Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge” dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving creamy texture.
