Thomas Stopfer, Ried Mordthal Roter Veltliner, Wagram 2023

Interesting and complex native Austrian white

Beautiful aromas of pear, white plum and elderflower, followed by hints of nuts.
More orchard and stone fruits on the palate, followed by a spicy mineral finish.
Matured on the fine yeast for 5 months, and with 20% matured in a 500l acacia barrel. This gives the wine a good tannic structure but without having dominant oak characteristics.
The indigenous Roter Veltliner plays a vital role within the Veltliner Family, and is the parent variety of Neuburger, Zierfandler and Rotgipfler.
Pair with a traditional schnitzel with potato salad.
