White Wine from Austria

2 Reviews

This wine continues to impress in the 2022 vintage, with a more approachable character than previous years, all while maintaining its hallmark freshness, finesse and intensity. The nose shows lime, aloe vera, pine-needle and lemon-pith notes. The palate is pristine with a delicately spicy character and a slightly more linear structure than previous vintages. Some salinity brings complexity and the delicious bright citrus notes grow on the long finish. A detailed, focused wine from one of Europe's most exciting producers. Decant if drinking young.

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.
