Weinhof Szemes Gruner Veltliner vom Schiefer 2021

From one of the makers of Arachon T.FX.T, Weinhof Szemes produces one of the top Blaufrnkisch in Austria.

In 1984 Tibor took over the family business. Tibor Szemes, a charismatic personality with vision and contacts all over the world, recognized the excellent terroir and grape quality of Central Burgenland as early as the early 1980s. With Ing. Josef Pusch, the then cellar master of the Horitschon cooperative, Tibor Szemes initiated the step to become a ngociant.

Tibors son, Oscar took the place of his parents, who both died far too young. Together with his sister Anna, he is now continuing the traditional business, while evolving it to focus on estate vineyards, as well as modernizing the wine portfolio that they represent

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Gruner Veltliner from Mittelburgenland, Austria. The fruit is grown on mica slate soils, giving it austerity, elegance and saltiness.

Taste Profile:The nose has great depth with pear and earthy elements. Ripe apple and apricot flavours fill the palate, before leading to layers of delicate blossom honey and white pepper. Fine acidity and good length.

Winemaking Process: After fermentation, it is stored on the yeast for several months before being bottled fruity, fresh and naturally cloudy. This wine is stored for 6-8 months in small oak barrels from where it is then bottled directly and unfiltered.
