| | Barbara Öhlzelt Grüner Leader | Grüner Veltliner 1-Liter Bottle 2021 Niederösterreich, Austria 12.5% ABV | Regular Price: $18 | |
In almost every season of our Terroir Case, there is one wine that seems to stand above the rest, one that offers a delightful surprise and really excites people. With our last Holiday Case, that wine was Barbara Öhlzelt's Grüner Leader. Her wine was so popular, that we featured it in January of this year where it sold out in a flash! This shouldn't come as a surprise, since Barbara's wines are some of the most exciting additions of our Austrian selection this past year. Last summer, when we shared her Zöbinger Grüner Veltliner, it was one of our most popular wines of the season! Barbara's Grüner Leader is 100% Grüner Veltliner, a crisp, refreshing white wine that is a chameleon on the table while being incredibly easy to drink on its own. I cannot begin to guess how many times we had customers come to the shop asking for the "big bottle with the beer cap": Everyone wanted more! Well, now is your chance to stock up and enjoy the new vintage of this amazing white wine from one of our favorite Austrian producers at an amazing price. And with all the spring vegetables coming into season, I can think of nothing better to pair them with than this liter of Grüner: Prost! |
| Weingut Barbara Öhlzelt Barbara Öhlzelt has been making wine in the village of Zöbing in Austria's Kamptal since 2004. She predominately farms Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from 6 hectares of vines in such prestigious sites as Heiligenstein (soils of primary rock, sandstone), Seeburg (slate, sand, clay) and Kogelberg (primary rock, granite, shale). The vast majority of vineyard work is done by hand and farmed along organic principles: Barbara never uses chemical treatments on her soils. She produces three levels of wine: a liter Grüner Veltliner; two village wines from both Grüner and Riesling; and her single vineyard wines from Seeberg, Heiligenstein and Kogelberg. Barbara's style is one of finesse and elegance over power, density and texture. |
A Liter of Grüner Öhlzelt's Grüner Leader is a 1-liter bottle of Grüner Veltliner from 30 year-old vines sourced from all her different vineyard sites in Kamptal, fermented and aged in stainless steel. In the glass, the wine displays a light gold in color with amazingly pristine aromas of quince, white pepper, cucumber, chervil and Honeydew melon. The palate is crisp and focused with an added mineral tinge to complement the green fruit and herb flavors. This is an amazingly easy-to-drink wine that is great on its own but can hold its own with a wide array of dishes from complex vegetarian offerings to poached fish to fried meats. |
