Brundlmayer Gruner Veltliner Ried Lamm Austria
Description: Full, rich open and inviting and complex nose. There is fruit there, but it’s hard to define what it is apart from touches of quince and honey. On the palate, too, it is difficult to describe- steely and with good acidity, for sure, but with an underlying richness that is hard to describe. Complex. With 125 acres of vineyards scattered around the small Austrian town Langenlois, Weingut Brundlmayer is one of the most important wineries in Austria. The vineyards on the hills around the town are the foundation of the estate. The best sites are in the region where the Kamp Vallet opens up like a shell towards the Danube Valley to the South. West of here lie the hills of Krems and the Wachau; Vienna and the Weinvertel are not far here to the east.Willi Brundlmayer has won numerous awards and is generally recognised as one of the finest, if not the finest, winemaker in Austria.

Familie Saahs Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner im Weingebirge Federspiel
Description: At Nikolaihof the Saahs Family cultivates 20 hectares of vineyards in the best locations on mineral-rich, steep-sloped, sunny terraces of granite, gneiss and mica . Some 55% of the vines are Riesling, about 35% Grüner Veltliner and the remaining 10% are divided between Neuburger, Weiburgunder, Fruhroter Veltliner and Chardonnay. To achieve higher quality the annual quantity of grapes harvested is very strictly limited. In the Nikolaihof vineyards harvesting is carried out by hand and to maintain the quality standards of Nikolaihof great attention is paid to the ripeness of the grapes. The grapes are pressed straight away and then, without any additives or treatment, using only the grapes' own yeasts, the fermentation takes place in a huge wooden vat at the natural temperature without any cooling or computer-calculated fermentation techniques. The great differences between day and night temperatures in the last weeks before the harvest produce a unique range of fruit flavours and bouquets, perfumes and aromas coupled with the very finest acidity. The Saahs family operates in accordance with the regulations of the Demeter Association, one of the strictest control systems of organic agriculture. Its principles may be very roughly summed up as follows: to get as much power and energy as possible into the wine whilst interfering with nature as little as possible. In the Nikolaihof vineyards no herbicides, pesticides, artificial fertilisers nor synthetic sprays are used, but stinging nettle manure, valerian drops, valerian tea and other specially produced preparations, which are applied in highly diluted form like homeopathic medicines, are used. The whole farm or enterprise must be run along biodynamic guidelines. Regular state inspections ensure that these working principles are properly applied. The biodynamic wine estate is regulated through the Austrian wine code, the Austrian foodstuffs codex and the EU directive 'Ecological Agriculture'. Nikolaihof is the oldest wine estate in Austria, whose history goes back almost 2000 years to Roman times. In the walls of Nikolaihof can be found remains of the early Christian Agapit basilica in which Bishop Pilgrim of Passau held a synod in 985 A.D. In 1075 the former 'Freihof' was referred to in a document as the central administrative seat of the Passau monastery of St Nikola; the present-day chapel was established by the Augustinian canons of this monastery.
