100% Grüner Veltliner, grown in loess soils. Just over half of the grapes for this wine come from Silke's family's vineyards; the rest are sourced from neighboring growers in Krems and Dross. This is bottled and made in the shared Buchegger-Mayr winery. Full-bunch pressing; fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures, aged on the lees in tank until February of the following year.

This is a straightforward, spicy Gruner; light in body and fruit-driven, this is a stellar white "table wine", able to pair well with just about anything white wine goes with.

Whereas much of Austria’s Grüner Veltliner is planted in soils of loess, Stadlmann’s grows in the limestone that characterizes their sector of the Thermenregion, resulting in an elegantly chalky, salty wine less opulent than many versions grown elsewhere. Fermented spontaneously in large neutral-oak casks, it is bottled in May the year after harvest without fining and with only a gentle filtration, rarely topping 12.5% alcohol.

Produced from vines planted well south of the cluster of northern-Thermenregion villages that comprise the majority of their holdings, Stadlmann’s Pinot Noir (called “Blauburgunder” locally) is simultaneously fresh and substantial, offering the textural harmoniousness of their white wines, as well as a lifted and elegant spice character that puts one in the mind of excellent red Burgundy. (After all, it was the Cistercian monks who brought Pinot Noir from Burgundy to the Thermenregion in the late 1100s.) Like the estate’s white wines, this is fermented and aged entirely in large, well-worn oak casks and bottled without fining and with only a gentle filtration. 12.5% abv (Rosenthal Wine Merchant Import)

Organic / Biodynamic / Natural

A clean crisp Gruner Veltliner with lovely notes of lemon zest, apricot and pear. The wine is bright and lively on the palate.

Organic

Stadlmann produces a singular riesling that takes advantage of the calcareous soils and temperate climate of the Thermenregion, rendering a classic, flinty expression of the varietal, leading with crisp, ripe green apple and notes of alpine flowers. Fermentation lasts 12 days in stainless steel tanks, with lees ageing for two months. As with all of the wines here, it is produced organically and biodynamically. 12.5% abv (Rosenthal Wine Merchant Import)

The curious combination of depth and lightness. Determined, focussed and with righteous courage as the soul of its roots, Chardonnay Leithaberg lifts its voice in song. Reserved at first out of caution, although immediately captivating, this wine requires deliberation, air, patience and a large glass to reveal its true essence. After a certain time, brightly coloured flowers and yellow-fleshed fruit appear, growing upon meadows of wild herbs. Initially reserved, paying homage to the limestone, tentative notes of roasted grain and freshly baked madeleines unfold. The yellowfruit aromas are bundled together with a delicate smokiness that only emphasises the fine silhouettes. ‘Juicy’ is still the favourite descriptor that comes to the tongue. Steely, straight and supported by invigorating acidity, Leithaberg pulls a sack of stones effortlessly behind it, leaving a trail that one is only too happy to follow.

Chardonnay thrives on the eastern limestone and slate slopes of the Leitha Range. The primary lots were harvested from the vineyards Spiegel, Kirchberg and Alter Berg in Winden and the Fügler in Jois. Some grape material also comes from the Edelgraben and the Zwergsbreiten in Breitenbrunn.


Bottled with conscientious handcraft and great care throughout the entire life cycle. Biodynamic cultivation of the vineyards. Handpicked at the beginning of September and left for some hours on the skins and stems. Spontaneous fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Matured for 7 months on its lees in large oak casks. 13% abv

Organic / Biodynamic / Natural

A wine from and with a horizon. It has established itself as a profound and characterful representative of the variety in the fossil-rich limestone and mica slate soils on the eastern slopes of the Leitha Mountains. Full of power, incredibly complex, nervy and straightforward, wrapped in a fine tannin robe, it radiates with its vitality and stony, lingering length. The vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic guidelines. Handpicked in mid-September to early October, spontaneous fermentation, left on the mash for three weeks in a wooden fermentation rack, gently pressed with a basket press, matured for 38 months in amphorae and used 500 l oak barrels. 13% abv

The Rotes Handgemenge is a blend of Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch. The juiciness of the Zweigelt plays well with the structure of the Blaufrankisch. It's meant to be an easy drinker on days when you don't want to take yourself so seriously. It's bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is opens up with a note of loamy earth, followed by graceful blackberry flavors which decorate the silky texture. It is lighter in body, but never lacking substance.

Yes, this is 2018 Gruner Veltliner and no, it is not tired. Great Gruner Veltliner can evolve in the bottle like other racy high acidity white wines, for instance Riesling, developing secondary notes. This has a slight petrol component to the bouquet reminiscent of Mosel Riesling.
