Description
What kind of wine it is
The Gruner Veltliner Kirchberg by Direder is a still Austrian white wine from the Wagram region. Characterised by a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, it is produced through a gentle fermentation to express a harmonious style. On the nose, it offers a clear bouquet dominated by green apple, pear and citrus fruits, combined with a pronounced minerality and distinct hints of white pepper. On the palate, it reveals itself through lively acidity that supports the sip, finishing with a long and savoury finish. Served at a temperature between 10 and 12°C, it enhances shellfish dishes and proves excellent for accompanying Asian cuisine, spicy foods, delicate white meats and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates in Austria in the Wagram region, specifically in the Kirchberg site near Engabrunn. Here, the Direder winery cultivates Gruner Veltliner grapes with careful parcel management. The distinctive feature of the area is the presence of loess soils, rich in elements that give the wine a precise identity. This geological composition imparts a savoury character and clear aromatic definition, resulting in a profile where the minerality of the terroir interacts with the typical spiciness of the grape variety, maintaining an agile drinkability.
How it is produced
The approach is based on artisanal methods aimed at preserving maximum varietal fidelity. The technical process in the cellar involves a gentle fermentation, essential for keeping the primary aromas of the grape intact and ensuring aromatic clarity. This careful process allows the wine to achieve a rigorous structural balance, enhancing the freshness of each sip. These characteristics ensure remarkable longevity, allowing for harmonious bottle ageing that, over time, accentuates the vibrant crisp acidity.
