Hirsch Kammern Kamptal DAC Grüner Veltliner

Region: Kamptal
Grape: Grüner Veltliner
Vineyard: Sourced from multiple sites in the outer rim of Kammern
Soil: Loess & loam
Fermentation & Elevage: Whole bunch pressing. Long, slow fermentation in stainless steel until the following spring.
Farming: Respekt Certified bio-dynamic.

This is the old “Kammern Heiligenstein” wine, which was discontinued in 2014 as it was way too confusing to have a GV and a Riesling with such a similar name. So, Johannes made the concession, is calling this a village wine, as it ought to be, but the sources – Renner, Grub, Lamm, Kammerner Gaisberg – are the same. Excellent vineyards, together to form a wider angle look at this part of the Kamptal.

The loess and loamy soils that lie on the outer rims of Kammern, the traditional wine-growing village, are among the most fascinating terroirs in Kamptal. They gives our wines great aromatics with spicy and supple taste. Great food wines!

"Grown under biodynamics, this is creamy and compact, a kaleidoscope of flavors, from white peach to yellow plum to red-blushed peach. It feels all of a piece; the flavors driven by a firm but gentle pink-grapefruit acidity, with mineral notes and a hint of resinous herbs adding complexity."
