Winemaker Notes
The wine has a fruity entrée with notes of white flowers, apple, green pears, subtle nuances of herbs; fine acidity, bright fruit character, some mirabelle, yellow apple, beautiful texture, very versatile food companion.
Gruner Veltliner Loss forms the basis of Hiedler's portfolio. It is sourced from vines growing on the eponymous loess soils. They have been formed over the millennia by deposits of weathering alpine rock, crushed under the weight of ice age glaciers.
Enormous storms have deposited this dust, in various mineral compositions of clays, lime, quartz, and mica, also in the southern Kamptal. The mineral-rich and porous soil, in which the vines form a deep root system, characterizes the typical bright fruit and cool spice of this Veltliner.
Critical Acclaim:
JS92James Suckling
A layered, creamy textured white with sliced-pear, flint and dried-mango character. It’s dry and flavorful. Lovely finish. Drink and enjoy.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Hiedler Löss Grüner Veltliner is a wine that appeals to all levels of wine drinkers. Drawn from the Loess soil, this wine offers excellent complex nuances. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dried earth, savory spices, chalk, and minerality. Enjoy it with grilled jumbo prawns and broiled oysters.
