Nigl Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben Kremstal 2020 750 ML

The Nigl Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben Kremstal Dac 2020 is a vibrant wine that boasts of aromas of grapefruit, ripe peach, pear, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, this wine has a medium body with crisp acidity, offering flavors of lemon, lime, and green apple, and a long finish with just enough minerality to keep it refreshing and alive.\n \n Producer Information\n Martin Nigl is a first generation winemaker, beginning in 1985 after convincing his family to keep the fruit from their small quantity of vines and bottle it themselves rather than selling it to the local co-op. The history with grape-growing is not nearly as recent though; the Nigl family has been farming here for over 200 years. Martin practices sustainable farming, never using herbicides or insecticides, plants cover crops of legumes and herbs, and avoids copper, a mainstay in the biodynamic arsenal, but which he considers detrimental to his vines’ vitality, and harmful to the soil. In the cellar, Nigl works almost exclusively in stainless steel, never de-stems, uses only ambient yeasts, settles musts by gravity only, racks twice and never fines before bottling. The resulting wines are some of the most crystalline, transcendent bottlings in the portfolio.
