2021 von der Vogelwaide Gruner Veltliner 'Tandaradai', Wachau, Austria
$74.99
100% Grüner Veltliner. One of the top wines at the domaine, this comes from a single-vineyard parcel of intense steepness and difficulty to work called ‘Steiner Kögl.’ The vineyard is marked by unique, very rocky soils, as opposed to the Grüner-on-loess plantings that dominate the region; the duo believes this expresses GV in a way that is more herbal and mineral. Whole-cluster pressed into 100% neutral French 228L. Spontaneous fermentation, unfined/unfiltered, full malolactic. Aged in the same neutral French 228L for 14 months on full lees; bottled December 2021. The word ‘Tandaradai’ is a medieval Austro-German word: onomatopoeia for the sound of the flapping of a bird’s wings.
