Winemaking "Loss & Lehm" refers to the Loess and Clay soil types typical of the vineyards and is characterized as a classic, crisp, and fresh expression of Weinviertel Grüner Veltliner.
Tasting notes: The fruit was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to stainless steel where it’s fermented with native yeasts. The wine rests in tank for 8 months on the fine lees, and is then bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small sulfur addition. A beautiful, bright bouquet of orchard fruits is followed by a crisp, mineral finish. The 2024 features longer lees aging than past iterations and the wine shows more depth.
About the Producer
Mathias, Viktoria, and Leonhard Schodl; things they love: high acidity, minerality, balanced alcohol levels, quirky, off-beat, and oft-overlooked wines that make the wine world such an interesting place, traditional winemaking that preserves the ways of the past as well as young upstarts eschewing modern agricultural practices and daring to be different.
