Eisacktal Aristos Grüner Veltliner Alto Adige DOC – 2024
CHF 22.90
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. It is dry with gentle flavours of honey, stone fruits, white pepper, herbs and spice. It finishes long with a flinty bite of minerality and has good ageing potential. 13.5% alcohol.
Enjoy with soft cheeses, fish and white meat dishes.
1,000 cases were produced. Drink 2026 – 2031.
