Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Liebenberg Federspiel

$40.00

From a steep, terraced, south-facing slope with ancient dry stone walls and weathered gneiss soils, the 2021 Ried Liebenberg Dürnstein Grüner Veltliner Federspiel opens with an intensely mineral bouquet that is reminiscent of Prinz Salm’s Wallhausen Felsenberg Nahe Riesling Grosses Gewächs from green slate. This is very clear, elegant and complex, with vegetal rather than fruit aromas and this characteristic saline tone from weathered gneiss. On the palate, this is a refined and crystalline, finely tannic Veltliner with intense, elegant fruit. Everything here is perfectly interwoven and simply outstanding in its terroir expression. If the Bruck is the “must buy” of the domaine’s Rieslings, the Liebenberg is a star of the Grüner Veltliners. Definitely a grand cru with long-lasting salinity and finesse. Gorgeous! 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap closure.
94 points. Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Notes

Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Liebenberg Federspiel is from the Liebenberg site, which dates back to the 14th century. Early records mention “lieb’nperig“, which later became “Liebenberg”. The views of this south- and southwest-facing site are lined by stone walls. Liebenberg is situated in the western part of Dürnstein and has rather cooler influences compared to, for example, Kellerberg. Liebenberg is one of the most fascinating vineyards in the Wachau; various forms of paragneiss represent the parent rock for the soils. Dark amphibolite outcrops are scattered everywhere, and amphibolite is also found in the stone walls. Due to its meagre terrain, the wines are characterised by elegance and subtle minerality.
The wine shows hints of ripe yellow apple, white peach, spicy notes of pepper and subtle hints of papaya; the palate is pronounced with a salty character, juicy fruit and lively acidity that complement the long lasting and powerful mouthfeel. – Roman Horvath MW, Domäne Wachau
