Domäne Wachau - Ried Kreuzberg Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2020

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2020 Ried Kreuzberg Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is from an extremely cool, terraced site in Rossatz that cools down extremely in the night. Cultivated on loess and loam topsoils covering amphibolite, this Kreuzberg is very clear and herbal on the remarkably complex nose that reveals concentrated but still reduced fruit intertwined with flinty notes due to the black stones of the bedrock. Full-bodied, dense and complex on the palate, this is a firmly structured and more phenolic Federspiel that might be the wing designation for a deep and complex wine like this. The wine is pure and refined, provided with crystalline acidity, serious gip and lingering salinity and finishes with a persistent ripe mirabelle aroma. It's an iumpressive wine that deserves all our patience. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in June 2021."
