Josef Fischer Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Ried Frauenweingarten 2020 750ml
Product Details
The Frauenweingärten encompasses the slopes between Rossatz and Rossatzbach, on the southern banks of the Danube, extending from the edge of the Dunkelstein forest down to just 25 meters from the river, and sloping up to a 48% incline. These northeast-facing hillsides are covered in a meter-thick deposit of glacial loess whose silty, sandy structure is ideal for Grüner Veltliner, and this loess is punctuated by sedimentary and granitic-gneiss elements which increase the soil’s porosity. Fischer’s 40-year-old parcel Grüner Veltliner in the Frauenweingärten yields a wine which beautifully combines weight and transparency—typically clocking in at 14% alcohol with just one gram per liter of residual sugar—offering deep, borderline-viscous yellow fruits which rise toward an airy yet elongated finish of mineral-driven precision. It was fermented spontaneously and aged the better part of a year on its fine lees in stainless steel with minimal sulfur additions.
Falstaff Review:
Medium yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine savoury notes of Golden Delicious apple, delicate pineapple and orange zest. Juicy, elegant palate, subtle fruit sweetness, well-integrated acidity, a hint of honeydew melon and long finish. A sturdy food wine.
