I tasted the 2018 Grüner Veltliner Langenloiser Alte Reben as a just sulfured tank sample in late September last year, so shortly before the bottling in October. The wine is based on the fruits sourced in the "premiers crus" Käferberg, Schenkenbichel and Spiegel and was vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged in 300-liter barrels. It opens deep, intense and ripe on the elegant nose, offering delicate citrus fruit aromas. Full, round and elegant on the palate, with a beautiful sur lie texture and fine tannins, this is a very elegant and persistently salty GV with a lot of tension on the finish. Very promising and easily on "1ÖTW" level. Drink Date 2021 - 2035
