[SOLD-OUT] Stift Goettweig Gruner Veltliner 2019

THIS GRUNER VELTLINER IS LOVELY, LIGHT AND VERY DRINKABLE, A TYPICAL AUSTRIAN GRUNER OF ITS "MESSWEIN" TIER.  

"Stift Göttweig has been engaged in wine-growing in the Kremstal region since the 11th century. The Göttweiger Messwein, or altar wine, has been an institution in this Benedictine monastery for centuries. Grüner Veltliner and Rosé (from Pinot Noir) are vinified as light, dry wines. From the nature-friendly cultivation of the vineyards to the care and processing of the grapes and wine, the "Reinheitsgebot”, or purity law, of the church must be obeyed.

Messwein cannot be produced without the permission of the bishop, and it must be only natural and unaltered. With its lowish alcohol, Messwein is the lightest wine – very easy and drinkable.  

Stift Goettweig Gruner Veltliner Messwein 2019 is dry, fruity and light with classic – though subtle – Veltliner spice. Animated on the nose; multilayered with notes of citrus fruit, red apple and rosewood. Fresh and elegant on the palate; expressive, with good length." - Stift
