ABOUT THIS WINE
The Arndorfer Grüner Veltliner 2023 is a dry white wine from Austria's Kamptal region, crafted by Weingut Arndorfer. The estate, led by Martin and Anna Arndorfer, emphasizes sustainable viticulture and minimal cellar intervention, believing in nature's primary role in winemaking. Grapes are sourced from old vines in Kamptal's top Crus, benefiting from a region with significant diurnal shifts that contribute to the wine's character. The soils in the Strass area are a complex mix of slate, granite, gneiss, and loess.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Arndorfer Grüner Veltliner 2023 is produced using a philosophy of minimal intervention. For the 'Handcrafted' version, whole grapes are crushed and undergo an 8-hour maceration before pressing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for six months on its lees, with 60% in large neutral oak barrels and 40% in stainless steel tanks. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined, with minimal sulfur dioxide added only at bottling. The 'Strasser Weinberge' bottling follows a similar approach, with fermentation in steel tanks and aging split between steel and large barrels.
