Grüner Veltliner Riede Braunsdorfer „Fuchs & Dachs“ 2021

Wine Description for Grüner Veltliner Riede Braunsdorfer „Fuchs & Dachs“ 2021 by HM Lang

Colour & Appearance

Radiant, pale golden yellow with seductive silvery reflections – a wine that already promises depth and elegance in the glass.

Nose

The nose displays striking precision: crisp green apple, fresh citrus notes and a hint of ginger meld with a cool, penetrating minerality. Multifaceted, vibrant and possessed of a freshness that immediately captivates.

Palate

What the nose suggests, the palate delivers with aplomb. Dancing, pure and forceful all at once – a seemingly paradoxical combination that this wine masters with remarkable ease. The precise acidity carries the wine with elegance, the structure is multifaceted without ever becoming heavy. An invigorating, inspiring drop that enchants with finesse.

Finish

Long, saline-mineral, with a lingering echo of citrus peel and cool stone. The finish underscores the seriousness of this wine whilst retaining its playful character.

Terroir & Origin

The Riede Braunsdorfer in the Krems wine landscape of Lower Austria is the heart of this wine. The terroir speaks clearly from every sip – cool, precise, unmistakably Krems.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Grüner Veltliner, vinified with the courage of patience: two days of basket pressing, followed by spontaneous fermentation in large wooden cask. The remarkable maturation of 2.5 years on the lees in a stone amphora imparts extraordinary texture and complexity to the wine without compromising its characteristic freshness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal companion to grilled pike-perch or trout with herb butter, equally convincing with asparagus dishes, Wiener Schnitzel or an elegant goat’s cheese. Its invigorating character makes it the perfect aperitif as well.

Special Features

The name „Fuchs & Dachs“ reveals the spirit behind this wine: curious, idiosyncratic, with a sense for the unconventional. The stone amphora maturation is a rarity in the Krems wine scene and gives this Grüner Veltliner a distinctive signature that far exceeds expectations.
