Grüner-Veltliner & Friends, Weinviertel, Austria

“Weinviertel” translates to “wine quarter”, dubbed this because it is the largest specified wine growing region in all of Austria! Michi’s Farm is winemaker Mitchel Gindl’s negotiant project (meaning grapes are grown by someone else, but fermented by Michael), where he works with other local farmers practicing organic & biodynamic techniques. This family farm goes back to the beginning of the 19th century, and is located on the outskirts of a dense oak forest in Michael's childhood town of Hohenruppersdorf – a small village to the east, near Slovakia. Made predominantly from Austria’s most important grape – the lean and herbaceous grüner-veltliner that shines with texture. After a few weeks of all the grapes on skins, everything starts to sing sweet floral songs & with extended lees aging we get a tender & luxe mouthfeel. Honeysuckle at night, jasmine vines, apricot basket, crisp gooseberry, gravelly undertones & cleansing acidity. Drink while playing spike ball in the park with your athletic friends.
