Alto Adige DOC Gruner Veltliner 'Rigger' 2022 (750 ml.) Griesserhof
Gruner Veltliner 'Rigger' by Griesserhof is produced from pure native grapes, grown at about 800 meters above sea level on alluvial and stony soils, in Alto Adige in the vineyard of the same name. Only the best bunches are used and then vinified according to the most modern standards of viticulture. After fermentation, it is aged on the fine lees for 10 months in tonneau and then for 3 months in the bottle to enhance its freshness and liveliness. The result is a wine that excites with its intense, fresh and acidulous bouquet, with aromas of white peach and tropical fruits. It is soft and persistent on the palate. The Veltliner has a peppery aroma, with hints of green apple and a delicately bitterish aftertaste. An unforgettable tasting experience. Ideal for fish and seafood dishes, fresh vegetable and Asian dishes, an excellent choice for fresh and goat cheeses.

Producing wines with character is the goal of Paul Huber of the Griesserhof estate in Varna. The estate is one of the northernmost in Alto Adige and focuses primarily on white wines, but Zweigelt and Pinot Noir are also grown. The foundations of the estate were laid in the Ice Age. Huge glaciers left behind very fertile moraine soil, on which mainly white grape varieties grow today. The Grisserhof estate includes three vineyards: Gols, Gall and Rigger. The first is located in the valley floor and the vines surround the farm. Grapes have been growing here since the 14th century, as is recorded in the inscriptions of the Novacella Abbey. No wonder: the silty and sandy soil is ideal for growing various grape varieties. "The Gols vineyard is the best for our Sylvaner," says Huber. The Gall vineyard, located at 800 m above sea level, is the preferred area for Kerner, while the warm valley floor of Val Riga offers the best conditions for the very expressive wines of Veltliner.
