Weinhof Waldschütz Fels am Wagram Grüner Veltliner 2022, Kamptal, Austria
£23.50 – £126.90
The Waldschütz family has had a long love affair with the grapevine. Established in 1849, initially as grape farmers in Kamptal but since 1912 as winemakers. With this pedigree its easy to understand that their focus is on family, tradition and experience. Grüner Veltliner Fels am Wagram grows exclusively in the area Scheiben, Brunnthal and Hammergraben. These are the core parts of the wine growing area Wagram. Even the deepest soil layers consist of pure loess. A combination of various factors such as south-bound vineyards, good water supply, warm winds due to the Pannonian climate and the vicinity to the temperature-balancing Danube enable the production of a unique, strong, yet creamy Grüner Veltliner.
Tasting notes
This wine displays a deep yellow hue with a subtle gold tint. Its legs, lingering momentarily on the rim, hint at the richness of the wine. On the nose, it evokes the scent of dried meadow herbs, complemented by a spiciness and exotic notes reminiscent of mangoes and papayas. The Grüner Veltliner Fels am Wagram from the Waldschütz winery is wonderfully complex on the palate, with a noticeable depth and density. A truly exceptional wine with excellent aging potential.
