Ried Mühlpoint:
The Mühlpoint vineyard is located on the slope of the Steinertal. While in the upper part of the influence of the mountain is still clearly felt and gneiss penetrates to the surface, the lower half is increasingly characterized by the level and continuously deeper loam layers. Aromatically, these factors are mainly noticeable through a pronounced spiciness.

"Sliced pears, grapefruit, white pepper and fennel on the nose of this bright, lively white. It™s medium-bodied with charming spicy hints to the fresh fruit. Good weight. Drink now or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Mühlpoint Federspiel, grown on gneiss with some loam just below the Steinertal, presents gentle, smooth yeast, a touch of Conference pear and lemon on the nose. Zesty concentration defines the palate, enriched with yeast, but it is the straight zestiness"unusual for Grüner Veltliner"that stands out, with a zesty core and lovely concentration."

"I like the subtle white pepper and lemongrass spice here, along with grapefruit, white pears and small white flowers. Plenty of coolness and freshness, with a medium body and a refreshing finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"Fluid and streamlined, with ginger and pink grapefruit acidity infusing notes of nectarine and salted melon that open up to reveal appealing generosity. Celery seed and green herbs add complexity. Energetic and clean, but with density too. Impressive. Drink now through 2033. 70 cases imported."

"The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Mühlpoint Federspiel, a site just underneath Steinertal, in the lower reaches where there's more loess in the gneiss deposits. It's gently savory on the nose and delivers yeast and pepper. The palate has a lovely stoniness and a slender aspect, with the pepperiness shimmering on the yeasty mid-palate. Lemon, stone and pepper make for a juicy, light-footed Federspiel. (Bone-dry)"
