2017 Veyder Malberg Riesling Brandstatt
2017 Veyder Malberg Riesling Brandstatt“Brandstatt is my recultivation project in the Spitzer Graben, the coolest area of the Wachau and about 450 meters above sea level.
The original mica schist vineyard, which had been long neglected, was replanted with Riesling following the restoration of the vineyard’s terrace walls.
My aspiration is to press the grapes from this age-old terraced vineyard into an uncompromising wine – a wine that expresses not as much the grape variety, but more the terroir and an old winemaking tradition. With the maceration as well as the maturation in local acacia barrels, perhaps this will be a wine just like those that were here long ago.” Peter Veyder-Malberg

Stagard Gruner Veltliner Handwerk 2015A family-operated estate since 1786, Stagård (going by a Swedish name for the last two of six generations) converted to organic farming in 2006. The winery’s vintage note: “Golden straw yellow, fruity and open in the nose, flavours of fresh ripe green apples with hints of citrus fruit and wild flowers. Juicy and round with an elegant structure, soft notes of pineapple and grapefruit, well integrated acitidy, finishes with a light touch of tropical fruit. The grapes are selected from the south side mountain- and terraced vineyards of Danzern & Pitschental – Großlage Pfaffenberg. The soil is mineralic and rich in limestone. Accompanying any dish, this wine is great with grilled fish, light starters, salads, baked dishes and pasta dishes
