The Limited Edition Program: Each year, from January through April, Winexpert releases limited quantities of five very special varieties, giving you the opportunity to create unique wines of great distinction and character. each variety is only available during their month of release. DON'T MISS OUT on your chance to enjoy these five exclusive varieties!
The Region: Gruner Veltliner is almost unique to the Niederosterreich, Austria's growing region along the Danube River, north of Vienna. It finds its finest balance in loess, the fine-grained, densely compacted glacial dust that has blown into the vineyards over many thousands of years. This unique terroir gives the wines a nearly monolithic structure that is mysteriously nimble; forceful without being overbearing; big without being heavy.
The Wine: Gruner Veltliner produces stunningly intense and concentrated wines that start with citrus and grapefruit aromas, hinting from the very beginning at the variety's most distinguishing characteristic, the spicy fragrance of freshly ground white pepper. Astonishingly complex and full of exotic tropical fruits, in addition to white pepper they can also show herbed aromas of fresh green beans or asparagus -- surprisingly delicate, it comes from the mineral soil.
Technical Information: Using a combination of 100% pure varietal grape juice and premium grape concentrates, Selection Limited Edition yields wines possessing superior flavour, aroma, and complexity.
