Grüner Veltliner 'Langenlois', named for the winery’s home village, where the vineyard parcels for this wine are located.
Tasting Notes
Juicy, straightforward, fruity and well structured. Has a bit more acidity but also a little more body than in the previous year.
Nose
Inviting creamy nose with aromas of orange zest, fresh meadow notes and apples extremely crisp.
Palate
Juicy with lively fruit, light to medium body, aromas of citrus and quince, filigree in the finish, stimulating and charming.
Producer
Weingut Weszeli, in Langenlois, a now-famous wine village located on the river Kamp where it wends its way down to the Danube at Krems. There is a crazy patchwork of Burgundy-like Cru vineyards which have helped put Austria on the map as a source of world-class whites. The story of this winery echoes that of many others. A former city-slicker, Davis Weszeli struck out in search of something new, with one clear goal: to feel closer to nature. He discovered his calling in the form of a traditional Kamptal winery in 2011, and from then on he has been on a mission to create authentic, unique wines whilst always prioritising sustainability in organic viticulture, and a principle coined by Davis himself: Terrafactum, the importance of the unique nature of the earth and terroir of Kamptal.
Davis makes charming and impressive Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, the two grapes he feels best suits the climate and soils of Kamptal.
There are three levels of Grüner Veltliner - Felix, Langenlois & Käferberg ÖTW, offering a fascinating journey into a grape oft-overlooked for its more famous stablemate, Riesling.
