Description

The Waldschütz winery dates to 1784 and is situated in Elsarn, in the north of the Kamptal region with vineyards in both Kamptal and nearby Wagram. Owned and run by Reinhard Waldschütz since 1994, recently his son Markus has started to take over the wine making.

Their single vineyard, Brunnthal, is designated ÖTW and sits on deep Loess soil giving plenty of depth and richness to this delicious Gruner Veltliner. The vineyard was planted in 2004 and the grapes are picked late with a hint of Botrytis. Fermented with the skins for a short time for extra flavour and aromatics; this leaps out of the glass with flowers and peaches and a creamy long palate of peach and pear with acidity which perfectly balances the ripe fruit, stunning.

Ried means single vineyard and ÖTW is the equivillent of a 1er cru
