Eisacktal Aristos Grüner Veltliner Alto Adige DOC – 2015
CHF 29.90
Only 26 hectares of the white Grüner Veltliner grape are planted in the whole of Italy, and the Cantina Isarco/Kellerei Eisackertal owns 14 of these! Their “Aristos” Grüner Veltliner comes from two very steep, southeast-facing vineyards between 550-600m altitude planted on deep clay soils. The grapes are hand-picked and very gently crushed before fermentation and then ten months’ ageing on their lees in a mix of wooden casks and stainless steel tanks.
The night time temperatures at this northerly latitude and high altitude are very cold throughout the growing season, giving the wine a steely core of acidity with amazing purity and mountain freshness.
This is dry with gentle flavours of honey, stone fruits, white pepper, herbs and spice. Its nine years of age in bottle have added gentle biscuity, patisserie notes. Still remarkably fresh and tasting fantastic in Autumn 2025! 14% alcohol.
Enjoy with soft cheeses, fish and white meat dishes.
