Ravensworth Tumbarumba Gruner Veltliner 2023
The second release of this alpine variety. The first was a single small barrel as a taster, waiting for this big batch to get itself together.
The main difference is barrel size and time in barrel: 2,000l foudre for two years
Gruner Veltliner is the main white variety from Austria, so we thought it important to ferments and mature this variety in a Austrian barrel.
Stockinger are really the best large format foudre around. Made in Austria from loacal oak, these towering vessels fill our cellar and we are delighted to see Gruner become part of this stable.
The 2 year maturation on lees has given the fruit a super fine structure built around the natural high acidity where the reductive environment gently coaxes the aromas and structure in the wine.
Beautifully spicy, aromatic, hints of almond and blossom and that terrific long finely textured palate. Lovely now but will cellar well
