Hirsch Ried Grub Grüner Veltliner 2021 comes from Ried Grub 1ÖTW, a benchmark vineyard in Kamptal, Austria, located between the renowned Heiligenstein and Gaisberg sites. The sheltered, southwest-facing vineyard is rooted in calcareous loess, clayey silt, gravel and sandstone, giving the wine depth, minerality and remarkable tension.

The grapes were harvested in October, whole-bunch pressed and fermented exclusively with indigenous yeasts. The wine was matured in stainless steel tanks and large oak casks on its fine lees until mid-May. The 2021 vintage is particularly regarded in Kamptal for its precision and finesse, combining ripe fruit with a beautifully defined acid structure.

A dry, elegant and mineral Grüner Veltliner, showing ripe yellow apple, fresh herbs, citrus and subtle spice. Fresh and textured on the palate, with a distinctive saline finish, it is a single-vineyard wine with excellent ageing potential and a clear expression of Kamptal's terroir.
