Nigl Gruner Veltliner Freiheit 2022 750ml

91 Points James Suckling | Fresh and floral jasmine and white tea aromas here, with some fennel, salted yellow plums and celery, too. Crisp and tasty on the palate, medium-bodied, with a pleasantly herbal and yellow fruited finish. (2022). 

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.
