Fermented and aged in large oak barrels, this version of Gruner Veltliner comes from the single Stare Vinice vineyard in a national park with a lot of granite soils. For that reason, we see a lot more minerality in this Gruner Veltliner than in the unoaked version or the Slunny Vrch single vineyard version. This wine tends more towards citrus fruits, but still maintaining a healthy spice alongside the minerality.
From a winery called “Best in the Czech Republic” for multiple years in a row, this wine is farmed organically.
Tastes Like: Citrus with a hint of Vanilla
Farming & Winemaking Highlights: Regenerative Agriculture | Sustainable Winery | Organic | Native Yeast Fermentation | Single Vineyard | Natural Wine
Fun Facts: Farmed in a national park, and the grape is called “Veltlinske Zelene” in the local language.
