Grabenwerkstatt Grabenwerk, Grüner Veltliner, Wachau 2021

White Wine from Austria

0 Reviews

Grabenwerk is made using grapes only from the Spitzer Graben (Side Valley), the coolest part of the region, where the estate`s single vineyards are located. Grabenwerk offers a taste of this unique climate, containing fruit from vines not yet mature enough for the single-vineyard bottlings - in other words, prime fruit, but at a fraction of the price. Intense, focused, dry and very serious, with a mineral backbone, intense herbal notes and a long finish. The acidity is perfectly representative of the incredibly steep cool vineyards and assures decades of life for this wine, making it both unique and fantastic value. Outstanding. Keep if you can, but be sure to decant before serving if you can`t wait.

Grabenwerkstatt

Franz Hofbauer, and Michale Linke are old mates, enthusiasts with bags of experience around the world of wine that includes New Zealand’s famous Felton Road estate. They got together in 2014 to make wine in a small village at the western end, one might say the unusual end, of the Wachau in Austria, basing themselves in the small village of Trandorf, where Franz grew up.

They happily took over the management of a handful of vines, some of them in a derelict vineyard that they needed to give some TLC, and The winery's five single vineyard plots all sit within a side valley of the Wachau and are incredibly steep, labour intensive but rewarding sites, producing grapes with mineral freshness, intensity and great potential for ageing.

They farm along biodynamic principles, though they haven’t sought certification for it, and believe in a hands-off approach, don’t overdo the sulfur and don’t fine or filter.

Grabenwerk is made from grapes from the Spitzer Graben (the Side Valley), and this is the coolest part of the region, where the estate’s single vineyards are found. Made from vines that are not yet old enough to be used in single-vineyard bottlings, it is a serious creation that belies its price point. With more obvious rigidity and an introverted stance on the palate, this is a sinewy, forceful wine over an enchanting lemon sherbet backdrop. This is a terrific find that should live for a decade or more. This pair of wines are cut from a similar cloth, and while I prefer to drink the Wachauwerk now, and it is undoubtedly immensely refined, you must not be tempted to open this fellow. It is lean and mean, with a flick-knife slash in every sip. It will reward you five-fold in time. Just hide it away in the corner of your cellar until the time is right. 18.5+/20
