Buchmayer – Grüner Veltliner Kalvarienberg 2019

by Simon J Woolf

Simon J Woolf 14/05/2020   

Buchmayer - Grüner Veltliner Kalvarienberg 2019
Producer: Buchmayer
Wine name: Grüner Veltliner Kalvarienberg
year: 2019
variety: Gruner Veltliner
region: Weinviertel
style: White
certification: Biodynamic
ABV: 13.0

A single vineyard version of the same producer’s Grüner Veltliner Natural, this is also the first vintage to be Demeter certified.

The nose shows lots of ripeness, and some signs of oak ageing (a butterscotch hint).

There’s a delightful interplay going on in this wine – on the attack there’s a hit of sweetness and ripeness which makes it feel opulent, but then that’s quickly reigned in by nice fruit acids.

In terms of fruit, there’s pear, ripe apple, even a hint of apricot and just a suggestion of green pepper too. Plus some wispy herby notes. In short, quite a lot going on, and a bright future for this – cellaring for a couple of years certainly can’t hurt.
