Birgit Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Strasser Gaisberg Reserve DAC 2018 - Birgit Eichinger
The reed Strasser Gaisberg Grüner Veltliner Erste Lage Kamptal DAC by Birgit Eichinger from Lower Austria presents a bright platinum yellow colour in the glass. If one swivels the wine glass, one can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. This varietal Austrian wine reveals in the glass wonderfully complex notes of star fruits, gallia melon, pineapple and physalis. Added to this are hints of whole nut chocolate, walnut and dark chocolate.
This dry white wine from Birgit Eichinger is for purists who like it absolutely dry. The reed Strasser Gaisberg Grüner Veltliner Erste Lage Kamptal DAC already comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 2.1 grams of residual sugar. Balanced and complex, this powerful white wine presents itself on the palate. The Strasser Gaisberg Grüner Veltliner Erste Lage Kamptal DAC presents itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate due to its vital fruit acidity. In the finish this storable white wine from the wine growing region of Lower Austria finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of mango and star fruit. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sand and loess are added.
Vinification of Birgit Eichinger Ried Strasser Gaisberg Grüner Veltliner First vineyard Kamptal DAC
This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely the Grüner Veltliner. Only flawless grape material was used for this exceptionally balanced varietal wine by Birgit Eichinger. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Lower Austria. Here the vines dig their roots deep into soils of sand and loess. The reed Strasser Gaisberg Grüner Veltliner Erste Lage Kamptal DAC is an Old World wine through and through, because this Austrian breathes an extraordinary European charm, which clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After the harvest, the grapes quickly reach the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by a maturation on the fine yeast for a few months before the wine is finally bottled.
