Description: A distinctive and highly expressive natural white from Austria, Claus Preisinger “Erde, Gras, Luft und Reben” 2016 showcases Grüner Veltliner in a raw, textural, and terroir-driven style. Crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects the vineyard ecosystem with purity and depth. Aromas of ripe apple, pear, citrus peel, and dried herbs are layered with white pepper, floral notes, and a subtle earthy, savoury complexity. With age, the wine develops additional notes of honey, hay, and gentle oxidative nuance. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a slightly grippy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, structured, mineral finish. Unfiltered and characterful, it balances freshness with evolving complexity. Expressive and unconventional, this is a Gruner Veltliner that leans toward texture and depth rather than pure primary fruit. Perfect with roasted vegetables, pork dishes, grilled fish, fermented foods, and bold Asian cuisine.
