'Tradition' 10 Years [Edition 853]

Tradition 10 Years Edition 853

The ‘Tradition’ wines are an ode to the winemaking style being employed at Gobelsburg in the early 19th century – specifically the years between 1800 and 1850. This period is characterized by the era of baroque, where intense aromatics in vinfication was being practiced.

The grapes are pressed with a basket press for low sediment content, without further sedimentation the wines are fermented without temperature control in 25 hl Manhartsberg oak casks (double foudre). After the fermentation the wines are racked every 3 to 4 months to let the wine ‘breathe’ on one side, but on the other side to go off the lees. This process lasts for about two years until the wine is ready to be bottled.

Vintage:  85% 2010, 10% 2009, 5% 1996-2008
Grapes: 80% Grüner Veltliner,  20% Riesling

"The MV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 10 Years Edition 853 is a blend composed mostly of the 2013 vintage, with a smaller addition of 2010, in a rough 90/10 proportion of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Melted coconut oil perfumed with lemon defines the nose, which is smooth and moves slowly yet intently to reach every sensory receptor. The palate is superbly fluid, compact in shape and glides along, leaving a delicious trail of citrus oils, with some lemon zest and just a vestige of pith. This is a triumph."

"The MV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 10 Years Edition 852 is a blend of mostly 2011 with a smaller addition of 2009 in a rough 95/5% blend of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Straw, wet stone, wax, dried peach and hazelnutty creaminess come together on the nose. Waxiness also defines the palate, in line with vivid concentration and bright, enduring, guiding freshness. The texture here is smooth but deepening, like liquid sinking into stone while retaining bright, shining citrus freshness. (Bone-dry)"

"Salty, robust and stunning, with impressive concentration and layers of flavor. Full but not heavy, this leads with saline mineral energy filled in with yellow plum, spicy dried ginger and yeasty depth. Caramelized almond and dry baking spice notes add richness, along with a subtle shortbread detail. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Drink now through 2030.—K.B."
