Varietal Gruner Veltliner

Gruner Veltliner is a pale skinned white wine grape varietal most closely associated with central European countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In recent years, it has spread somewhat to several New World countries, where it is becoming gradually more popular and regularly seen in wine stores. One of the main attractions of this grape varietal for winemakers is the fact that it is highly versatile, and can be used for the production of several different wine styles, including young, dry white wines, excellent sparkling wines, and it is also a grape varietal which is well suited for aging Gruner Veltliner has the ability to express much of its terroir, and the best examples are generally those which are full of delightfully mineral-rich flavors alongside the more usual notes of citrus fruits and peach.

Country Austria

Archaeological evidence suggests that grapevines have been grown and cultivated in what is today modern Austria for over four thousand years, making it one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world. Over the centuries, relatively little has changed in Austrian wine, with the dominant grape varietals continuing to be Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and others. Austria is renowned for producing excellent and characterful dry white wines, although in the eastern part of the country, many wineries specialist in sweeter white wines made in a similar style to those of neighboring Hungary. Today, Austria has over fifty thousand hectares under vine, split over four key wine regions. The domestic wine industry remains strong, with Austrians drinking their local produce outside in the summer, and people around the world are beginning to once more rediscover this fascinating and ancient wine culture.

This redefines what a Kamptal Grüner is, starting off with a hint of matchstick that signals soft reduction, but once blown off, there is an electric offering of melon, Meyer lemon, sage and lily that all sing in harmony. Then you notice the captivating texture, wrapping up the experience.

Wine Advocate

Christoph Hoch's biodynamic NV Hollenburger Grüner Veltliner blends the vintages 2018, 2017 and 2016 and opens with a deep and spicy-mineral as well as fresh and aromatic, slightly oxidative sur lie bouquet of ripe fruits intertwined with delicate notes of crushed or weathered stones as well as herbs and dried flowers. Lush and delicate on the palate, this is an intense and elegant yet light to medium-bodied, silky-textured and well-balanced Veltliner with finesse and a seriously structured finish that reveals food-friendly grip and intensity. An excellent wine with a touch of oak on the finish. 11.5% alcohol. Tasted in October 2019.

Winery Notes

From terraced vineyards around Hollenburg with Hollenburger Konglomerat and Loess situated between 250 – 300 meters altitude. 100% fermented and matured in big oak casks. Hoch treats each barrel as an experiment, some of the wine has a maceration on the skins, some goes through malo, some does not. The blend is 40% from the most recent vintage, 40% the previous vintage, and 20% three vintages ago. The youngest vintages gives the wine freshness and vivacity, the middle vintage body, and the last vintage is normally the most tannic and structured. The combination gives the most complete and complex expression of Hollenburg, irrespective of vintage. For those who are curious, the back label always lists a lot number in tiny print and the first two numbers show what the youngest vintage in the blend.
