Markus Huber Ried Zwirch Erste Lage 1ÖTW Reserve Grüner Veltliner 2023

This has an incredible flinty energy and chalky finesse. A pineapple note runs like a golden thread through this extremely focused and pristine wine. The astonishing finish is concentrated but also breathtakingly fresh and precise. From organically grown grapes. From a site with the classic chalky conglomerate soil of this region. Fermented and matured in large, neutral, acacia casks. Vegan. Drink or hold. Score – 97. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, Sept. 7, 2024)
