"Gruner Veltliner is the most widely planted grape variety in Austria and is often compared with Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris, although it exhibits very much its own character. The Hinter der Burg ("behind the mountain") vineyard, overlooking the Danube river west of Vienna is rich in 'primary rock' such as schist, gneiss and granite. This is a delightfully powerful Graner, all grapefruit and spices, with a soaring mineral backbone. Winemaker Toni Bodenstein uses only stainless steel in the winery, aiming to preserve the very specific terroir of the Wachau."

"Oh boy, what a decidedly complex and rich wine that is balanced by vibrant cut quartz which leaves me feeling refreshed. The wine coats my mouth in spectacular flavours of lemon peel, summer flowers, apple bloom and spicy peach skin. Is it intense? Yes. Is it inviting? Yes. Should I drink another glass? Yes."
