DURNBERG GRUNER VELTLINER RESERVE 750ML

TERROIR: The „Rabenstein“-vineyard is a south-easterly slope. The vines are up to 55 years old and located in a soil of hard clay with a high percentage of limestone. The Grüner Veltliner-grapes from this site show the character of this very special terroir with a suble spiciness and fine mineral notes on the palate. Caused by the perfect location the soil takes advantage from the sun in the morning, while getting not too hot in the afternoon. Therefore a suitable acidity is assured. VINIFICATION: Around mid of October we take care to bring in the grapes in a cool temperature, followed by a scin-contact of up to 72 hours. The fermentation of the ripe must takes place in oak barrels of 1000 – 3000 l and we keep them there on the lees between 10-12 months. FOOD-PAIRING: Smoked trout & horseradish sauce, asparagus & smoked salmon, smoked goose breast, fried/grilled sea brass with fennel & tomatoes, fried medaillons of pork fillet, roasted sucking-pig & cabbage salad, prime boiled beef, beef Wellington
