Classic Style Gruner Veltliner, Weingut Sepp Moser

Bottle Notes

The Sepp Moser Estate was founded by the famous Austrian wine producing pioneer, Lenz Moser. Lenz Moser's son, Sepp Moser, began operating under his own name in 1987 and handed over the direction of this family-owned estate to his own son Nikolaus in the year 2000. The Sepp Moser Estate comprises of 50 acres of vineyards in two prominent wine regions; Kremstal (22 ha) and Neusiedlersee (28 ha). In the Kremstal, Nikolaus produces an international range of varieties as well as the ever more important local varieties of Gruner Veltliner and Riesling.

The majority of the Gruner Veltliner grapes for this dry white were grown on the steep, rocky terraces of Rohrendorf in Kremstal and the surrounding area. The löss soil on these steep terraces is rich in lime and sediments from the last ice age. It can be up to 35 metres thick! The trellis system is high up. The grapes were organically produced and hand harvested at the end of September.

Delicate aromas of honey, apricot and white spice. The palate has more stone fruit flavours and a soft, appealing texture. Mineral, stony characters are balanced by fresh citrus acidity and a hint of spice.
