MAGNUM Grüner Veltliner 'Ried Lamm 1st Growth' 2021
Peach and pepper, certainly classic Grüner Veltliner notes. Chamomile and tobacco also contribute to this flavor explosion that intensifies by the minute. The Lamm is an aromatic chameleon, while its structure provides a consistent and stable counterbalance. 'A sexy site,' to quote Alwin. In any case, this is an absolute Grüner Veltliner cult vineyard. Incidentally, no lambs graze in the vineyard – the name is derived from the word ‘loam’. But even this is not entirely true; this vineyard mainly consists of deep, meter-high walls of loess. These are fault lines from the Permian period. The Lamm is the first of the vineyards in Zöbing to receive the morning sun and thus the constant wind on its terraces, and because it does not get the evening sun, there is a significant fluctuation between day and night temperatures.

A special family home with a long tradition, located in the municipality of Langenlois in the Kamptal district. Alwin Jurtschitsch (daily management) and his wife Stefanie (winemaker) are dedicated to making the best possible wine. Since taking charge, they have reduced the vineyard area; the best vineyards were thus retained (or expanded), while the lesser plots were closed off. Work in the cellar is also carried out with great skill and precision. The result: unmistakably high-quality wines that have consistently taken top positions in the lists of the best Austrian whites in recent years.
The Grüner Veltliner here is mostly planted on slightly more fertile soil, in places that also retain water more easily. This gives the wines some extra body, without sacrificing elegance. All of Jurtschitsch's wines are very precise, without interference, perfectly balanced, and beautifully express the grape and terroir.
