Before heading to Soiree des Grands Crus, I stopped by IPO Wines offices in NY and find myself lucky that Katell was kind enough to offer me a taste of 'Kreutles' Gruner Veltliner (2008) by Peter Veyder – Malberg whose vineyards are in the warmest part of Wachau, Austria.
It's pure pleasure in your glass, good balance, low alcohol (12,5%).
The lighter, more subtle touch could be attributed to the fact that Peter picks grapes early. Property is not organic certified yet adopted natural practices.
Perfect bottle to pop open with friends.
Kreutles is the name of the vineyards with deep soils at the foot of the Loibenberg, producer informs us.
Wine retails for around $33.
In the US, his wines are imported by Circo Vino…
