Schuster Grüner Veltliner Ried Eisenhut: Complexity and Finesse

The Grüner Veltliner Ried Eisenhut comes from one of the highest plots in Wagram, known for its chalky soils that give the wine a unique minerality and complexity. This wine undergoes careful vinification: after hand harvesting, a gentle pressing and slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks, culminating in aging in large wooden barrels. These methods emphasize the unique character of the grapes, resulting in a wine with vibrant aromas of tropical fruit, a subtle spice, and hints of acacia honey. The delicate acidity and creamy texture make this wine not only captivating but also versatile at the table.
