2021 Veyder-Malberg Gruner Veltliner

Discover the exceptional character of Veyder-Malberg’s 2021 Grüner Veltliner from Austria’s renowned Wachau region—a wine crafted with passion for connoisseurs seeking something extraordinary. Tucked away 400 meters from the Danube in Weißenkirchen, this estate’s Ried Weitenberg vineyard thrives on a unique terroir that combines warm south/southwest exposure with shaded mornings and intense evening sun, creating an ideal environment for grapes to reach their full potential.

What sets this Grüner Veltliner apart is its lineage: ancient vines planted in the 1950s using rare masale selections from Wachau’s heritage stock. Each vine here tells a story of genetic diversity, resulting in a flavor profile that defies convention. While traditional Grüner Veltliners often showcase herbaceous or peppery notes, this bottling dazzles with ripe melon, tropical fruit, and golden apple aromas—a testament to its low-yield production and meticulous craftsmanship.

The winemaking philosophy here prioritizes concentration over quantity. With poor flowering in older vines leading to naturally low yields and zero botrytis influence, every sip reflects intense fruit character balanced by crisp acidity and a smooth 13.5% alcohol content. Perfect for pairing with rich seafood dishes or aromatic white meats, this wine offers a refined experience that distinguishes it from mass-produced alternatives.

For those seeking a premium Grüner Veltliner that embodies tradition while pushing boundaries, Veyder-Malberg’s 2021 vintage is a must-try. Its blend of historical terroir and modern winemaking techniques ensures a tasting experience that’s as memorable as it is approachable—ideal for special occasions or simply savoring life’s finer moments.
