The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Liebenberg Federspiel grows in a mix of paragneiss and amphibolite and is from vines between 60 and 100 years old. It is fermented in stainless steel and a large neutral barrel. The merest touch of white miso and pepper appears on the shy nose. Immediate, smooth and rounded ripeness defines the body, whereas yeasty juiciness suggests both stone fruit and pear, ripe but still crunchy. Concentration on the palate brings out zestiness rather than yeast and continues in a sinuous, smooth, balanced flow towards the fresh finish that captures ripeness as much as brightness. 92 points. Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous May 2024

Notes
The history of the vineyard Liebenberg 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. – Domane Wachau
Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Delicate tobacco and herbal spice, fine yellow tropical fruit, some mango, candied orange zest. Medium body, yellow apple, subtle acidity, mineral backed finish, a balanced food wine. 91 points. Peter Moser, Falstaff April 2024
This has attractive notes of sliced apple, fresh melon and nectarine, with freshness and purity, followed by a medium-bodied, crunchy palate. Hard to resist. Drink now. Screw cap. 92 points. JamesSuckling.com Oct 2024
