Background

Kurt's ancestors have been making wine in Kamptal since 1848. With Austria's entry into the European Union in 1995, however, Kurt realised that their was plenty of opportunity right on his doorstep, and so Austria retained one of her best (and best value) winemakers. He set up in Lengenfeld, in Kamptal, and now manages 27 ha of vines, either inherited, purchased or leased. Although these include a wide selection of varieties, as detailed above, it is with the multiple cuvées of Grüner Veltliner that Angerer shows his true mettle; these are transparently terroir driven, the bottlings demonstrating the influence of gravel, granite and loess on the variety, as well as what can be gained (or lost) through the marriage of oak and GV.

Tasting Notes

Medium green yellow. Inviting notes of golden-delicious-apple, with yellow fruit and delicate meadow herbs and a touch of blossom honey. Fine acid, good seasoning in the descent. Soft and very approachable. A multi-faceted food companion.
