From a warm, south-facing vineyard with sandy soils over limestone, the 2014 Weinviertel DAC Reserve Goldjoch was picked late (on October 10th) and fermented spontaneously (with natural yeasts) in 2000-liter vats. The wine starts super clear, very ripe and intense on the nose, displaying some tropical fruit flavors along with invitingly coolish mineral and stony flavors. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this is a super precise, elegant and balanced Veltliner with a long and complex, vibrant and tension-filled finish. It’s lovely to drink young and fruity, but can be aged for more than ten years. An impressive wine!
