2014 Weingut Laurenz V. Friendly Gruner Veltliner, Kamptal

LAURENZ V. stands for five generations of the Laurenz Moser wine dynasty; the only producer worldwide to concentrate all of their efforts into the Gruner Veltliner variety.

Austria’s Kamptal Grüner Veltliner ripens in granite, gneiss, mica-slate as well as loess soils. And from the neighbouring region to the north, the rugged Waldviertel, blows cool air that substantially lowers night temperatures in the Kamptal; this in turn slows up the ripening process of the grapes. These conditions are exactly why the wines from this region taste so fresh and fruity.

Gruner Veltliner is Austria's showpiece grape. It yields concentrated, harmonious wines rich in finesse and with a long life potential. Veltliner wines are reliable in their development. They bring pure enjoyment in their youth, and guarantee utmost drinking pleasure in maturity.

The 2014 Friendly shows aromas of ripe apples and a typical Veltliner spiciness marry to create a fascinating fruit bouquet. On the palate, the wine is soft and juicy, supported by a fine fruit acidity. So harmonious and perfect to drink.
