Jurtschitsch Kamptal Gruner Veltliner Kaferberg Erste Lage 2022

$7499

From one of Austria's premier vineyard sites, this Erste Lage bottling captures quince and pear wrapped around a mineral core of flint and butterscotch. Hand-picked grapes from the organically farmed Käferberg slope deliver fresh acidity and firm structure, with a finish that demands another sip. Serious Grüner Veltliner with texture and depth.

"The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Käferberg is grown on dark amphibolite and fermented in large, used wood. Just a touch of tender apricot flickers before smokiness and savor kick in on the nose. The palate plunges into beautiful, rounded, yeasty savoriness with a gorgeous smattering of pepper before tapering back into linearity and finesse. The 2022 is beautiful, elegant and spicy." —Anne Krebiehl MW

More about Jurtschitsch

Vanguards of the natural wine scene in the Kamptal, an Austrian region known for elegant and aromatic wines. The young couple, Alwin and Stef (a daughter of the Gunderloch family in Germany) took over his family estate, the oldest in the Kamptal in 2006. They’ve converted everything to organics and gone further than that, using alternatives to copper sulfates for sprays and protecting the biodiversity of the forests around them. All of that would be for naught if they didn't also produce some of the most elegant, traditionally-classical wines in the region. Rieslings especially are high acid, elegant and aromatic and still so fairly priced.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Bowler Wine

<p>The Käferberg vineyard overlooks Langenlois and is to Gruner Veltliner what the Heiligenstein vineyard is to Riesling - world famous. The roots of the 62-year-old vines grow deep in a very rocky soil and bring a special saltiness in the wine. It is a sunny vineyard, but also very windy. The character of the wine is always a bit richer without being fat. This wine sees two days of maceration on the skins, followed by two months of slow spontaneous fermentation and ten months of aging on the full lees. The vineyard occupies a warm, sheltered site between 300 and 345 meters above sea level, with a southern and southeastern exposure. The soils are variable, with different underlying bedrock: within a small area one can find crystalline rocks such as amphibolite, gneiss, and mica schist, alternating with much younger clay marl, sands, and rare gravels that were deposited in the ancient Paratethys Sea 16 million years ago. </p>
