Nikolaihof 'Steinterrassen' Grüner Veltliner 2012 | Wachau, Austria

Twelve years of age and not even breaking a sweat. A rare, elegant Grüner from one of Austria’s oldest biodynamic producers. Steep terraces, old vines, and patient aging come together in this deeply mineral, structured white.

Tasting Notes

• Aromatics of white florals, green apple, lime, and grapefruit

• Hints of herbs, wet stone, and soft oak spice

• Medium-bodied with focused acidity

• Long, saline finish

Winemaking Notes

• Organic and biodynamic viticulture

• Grapes from the steep “Steinterrassen” terraces in Wachau

• Aged in large old oak barrels

• Minimal sulphur additions

• Unfined and unfiltered

Drinking Notes

Decant if possible, and serve just below room temp. Age hasn’t dulled its edge—drink with pork schnitzel, smoked trout, or anything with buttery herbs. This is Grüner built for contemplation or to pose next to waterfall with it.
