2023 "FASS 4" Grüner Veltliner

The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Fass 4 is from estate fruit only, harvested across the Hengstberg. Ott calls this the classic wine of his estate. It was mainly fermented in large barrels with a smaller proportion of stainless steel. Gentle savor reminds of lichen on wood, with a touch of orange peel, projecting much freshness. There is more body, a touch of pale Mirabelle fruit, with light-footed ripeness and more of that slightly peppery lichen savor. The subtle texture heightens the citrus notions and makes for a lip-smacking finish, always with that subtle, peppery flavor. (Bone-dry)
