Vineyard: Ried (single vineyard, cru) Lamm is situated on the south east slope of Heiligenstein. Beside erosion material from Heiligenstein, (perm, red silstone) a high proportion of clay can be found. The vineyard is southfacing and very well-exposed. This helps develop the grapes for a wine that, after maturation in traditional double foudre from the local forest of Manhartsberg, results in a wine with power and elegance.
Varietal Composition: 100% Grüner Veltliner
Tasting Notes: : It’s not often that a young Austrian gruner veltliner reminds you of Burgundy, though mature examples often do. The ripe-mirabelle, candied-pineapple and dried-herb aromas are married to a palate that’s rich and creamy. But beneath the waterline this is also a highly structured wine. Rather imposing finish, suggesting excellent aging potential. - By James Suckling
