This late-released special cuv\u00e9e changed its name from Grosse Reserve\/Gutsreserve with the 2016 vintage and now bears the name of the vineyard it comes from: Gaisberg.
\nGeyerhof has previously released a Gr\u00fcner Veltliner from the same vineyard under its vineyard name, but it is not the same wine: the selection and, above all, the aging process are entirely different.<\/p>\n
Gaisberg ‘Late Release’ spent 7\u00bd years on fine lees in an acacia barrel before bottling. The extended aging has contributed to a remarkable depth, showcasing precisely what Gr\u00fcner Veltliner has to offer the world: richness, elegance, and a transparency that allows the classic loess terroir to shine through. It is a full-bodied, complex, and elegant wine with depth and character\u2014an excellent, though not identical, alternative to unaffordable white Burgundy.<\/p>\n
The nose is intensely aromatic, with ripe notes of peach, parsnip, seaweed, and salty minerals. The palate is creamy and rounded, with balanced acidity, a mineral-driven nerve, and a dense extract sensation.
\nWhile it exhibits aging aromas, it is striking how little the extended lees aging dominates its aromatic profile: the wine is effortlessly enjoyable and can be appreciated without instructions.
\nDespite a very late harvest and low yield, it maintains a moderate 12.5% alcohol, which neither fatigues the palate nor the mind.<\/p>\n
This gem from Angerner Gaisberg can age for decades if desired. If you’re looking for a light, refreshing Gr\u00fcner Veltliner, the estate\u2019s lighter cuv\u00e9es are a better choice\u2014this one does not have the fragile tension of youth but has instead gained significant depth.<\/p>\n
Food-wise, it pairs well with the same dishes as powerful white Burgundy. If you’ve already indulged on the wine front, why not go all out in the kitchen with a roasted turbot and a voluminous sauce?<\/p>\n
Serve the wine only lightly chilled; around 11-14\u00b0C is ideal.
\nAnd be sure to try it in a Burgundy glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
