Brunn Gruner Veltliner

The Austrians are both new and ancient with their wines: this is in a liter bottle, it’s all the rage; all the cool kids are going with liters these days. But winemaker Karl Steinschaden and his family are also focused on tradition, harvesting solely by hand from old estate vines with low yields, doing only native ferments. A few months in large Slovenian oak vats and you have bracing crisp, clean and absurdly drinkable Grüner.
