Drinking 2024 to 2028. - Vinous
Kristen Bieler writes: There's floral charm in this clean, pure version, which is filled out with apple blossom, melon and quince flavors. Offers good minerality and herbal vibrancy, with some spice elements on the snappy finish. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
James Suckling writes: This has sliced pears, grapefruit, celery salt and a hint of white pepper on the nose. Very fresh and crisp on the palate, with a medium body and a crunchy finish. Drink now. Screw cap. - James Suckling 91
Winemaker Description
Martin Nigl's Freheit Gruner Veltliner is sourced from four different vineyards in the hills above the city of Krems. The soils here are primarily löss and the temperature is moderated by its steep elevation. The name ‘Freiheit’ means “freedom” and is believed to be some of the first privately owned vineyard land in the valley not controlled by the Church or a feudal estate. Fermentation and élevage occur in stainless steel and is bottled at night when the cellars of the coolest has Martin feels this helps preserve the freshness of the wines. Winemaker Description.
