Grassl

Carnuntum | Göttlesbrunn

Young, ambitious, passionate winemakers like Philipp Grassl are authoring the transformation of Carnuntum from unfashionable backwater to a place capable of producing exciting site-specific, mineral wines. Austria’s only red-wine dominant region, Carnuntum’s mix of mix of alluvial soils, loess, limestone, and gravel give terroir-obsessed winemakers like Grassl much to work with, as the region benefits from the tempering by the Danube River of the Pannonian climate’s hot summers and cold winters. Working with Zweigelt and St. Laurent, Grassl’s approach in the cellar is to do very little, letting vineyard and vintage speak for themselves.

Grassl 2022 Grüner Veltliner

The spice lies in the length.
As “just Lower Austrians”, the Grüner Veltliner suits us well and rounds off our wine range with a fresh facet. It grows on vines that are up to 40 years old on sandy, gravelly soils in beautiful southeastern locations, for which the exciting change in temperature over the course of the day is typical. This allows it to reach full maturity during the day and develop its fine complexity at night. As a traditional Austrian wine of the traditional Austrian variety, it goes perfectly with traditional Austrian cuisine. But also definitely enjoyable as a soloist.
