Weingut Jurtschitsch Gruner Veltliner Urgestein 2024 750ml

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Urgestein is picked this year from the Steinberg on gneiss, the Steinriedel, which usually goes into sparkling wine and parts of Loiserberg. A perfume of fern and salty apple skin appears on the nose. The palate is smooth, with salty citrus, apple skin and a touch of fern. Wonderfully lip-smacking despite its undoubted potency and ripeness.
