Allram Alte Reben Gruner Veltliner 2022

Cellar for up to 6 years. Serve chilled.

The Allram estate is one of the Kamptal’s finest wineries thanks to the family’s passion for winemaking and their insistence on letting Mother Nature do most of the work. This small but prestigious Austrian wine region is best known for its steep and stony vineyards perched above the river Kamp which offer ideal conditions for premium winemaking. The Allram family in particular have exceptional vineyards including prized plots in the legendary crus of Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, and Renner.

This dynamic and youthful Gruner is crafted from old vines or “Alte Ruben” planted in the Mittelhasel vineyard on the family’s estate. The distinctive loess soils and south-facing aspect help to produce an intense yet balanced wine with plenty of natural freshness and elegant aromatics. The fruit is all grown organically and farmed sustainably to produce the best quality ingredients possible for their delicious wines.

Once in the winery the fruit is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve plenty of natural freshness and varietal character. The young wine is then left to mature on the lees over the winter until bottling in April. This helps to add extra texture and complexity, producing a medium bodied Gruner with a creamy, unctuous texture and ripe apricot, pineapple and honeyed notes.
