Pichler-Krutzler Gruner Veltliner Ried Klostersatz 2023

$3999

Elisabeth Pichler grew up among the greatest Grüner Veltliner vines in Austria — her father is F.X. Pichler, Wachau royalty. Then she married Erich Krutzler, a red-wine guy from Burgenland, and in 2007 the two of them founded their own estate and walked away from the Vinea Wachau classification system entirely. No Steinfeder, no Federspiel, no Smaragd — just organic farming, wild yeasts, and the site speaking for itself. Ried Klostersatz comes off 1970s vines on alluvial Danubian gravel, with part of the fermentation in wood, and it lands somewhere deeper and more savory than the standard-issue peppery Grüner. Think crushed rock and a whisper of white miso rather than fruit salad. This is what Grüner tastes like when nobody is checking a rulebook.

"The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Klostersatz is from four parcels planted in the 1970s on heavier alluvial soils and was partially fermented in wood. Lovely yeast, slight pepper and supple nuttiness on the nose lead to a serene, smooth, yeasty palate with a bright citrus core. This is ripe, flowing and smooth but edged with lovely lemon. That mid-palate quietly grows on you with its supple savoriness." —Anne Krebiehl MW
