Tasting notes
Kammern. South-eastern slope at the foot of the Heiligenstein and one of the hottest sites in the Kamptal. The soil is calcareous and consists of loamy-sandy silt that has formed on loess. Natural cork closure. Certified sustainable and organic. Intense aroma, highly expressive. Herbal, light note of cedar, smoky reduction (in a good way). Even with all these layers, there's fruit at the core. Deep citrus and yellow fruits. Moreish and long. A distinctive style. (JH)

The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm, from the midslope of the site on loess and loam over Permian sandstone, presents creamy hazelnut on the nose, reflecting its fermentation and maturation in 300-liter oak barrels. The palate offers hazelnut, white pepper, creaminess and ripe yellow apple flesh, all underlined by fine lemon freshness. Potency and undoubted freshness, muscle and tension are evident. The finish is clean cut and everything here remains tightly coiled. Wait for this.
