Natural Grüner Veltliner 2023

Wine Description for Natural Grüner Veltliner 2023 by Hajszan Neumann

Colour & Appearance

Deep, muted golden yellow – the intense colour immediately reveals: extended skin contact has been at work here. A Natural Wine with character and visual presence.

Nose

Impressively multi-layered and dense. Quince and pear form the fruit foundation, joined by orange peel, meadow flowers and fine cedarwood notes. A hint of white pepper provides the characteristic Veltliner spice. Four months of skin contact have given the wine extraordinary depth and complexity – you’ll find yourself returning to the glass again and again.

Palate

Juicy and assertive with a fine, invigorating bite. The interplay between ripe fruit, crisp freshness and yeasty texture is tense and dynamic. The skin fermentation gives the wine grip and structure without sacrificing elegance.

Finish

Long and persistent with an ever-present saline minerality that grounds the wine and lends depth. The yeasty notes fade harmoniously – a finale that invites the next sip.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Grüner Veltliner, fermented on skins and aged for four months on the skins in stainless steel. Bottled unfiltered and unrefined – an authentic Natural Wine bearing the signature of Hajszan Neumann. With a moderate 12% alcohol, the wine remains approachable and vibrant.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This robust Veltliner demands correspondingly spiced cuisine: Wiener Schnitzel, pan-fried char, pork roast with caraway, Käsespätzle or aged alpine cheese. Also an exciting choice with Asian curry dishes or Dim Sum.

Special Features

A Natural Wine from Vienna that demonstrates how multifaceted Grüner Veltliner can be when given time on the skins. Hajszan Neumann demonstrate craftsmanship and courage in unconventional vinification methods – a must for lovers of authentic, unadorned wines.
