Weingut Ecker Eckhof Roter Veltliner 2020

Not to be confused with Grüner-Veltliner, this variety offers a richer, more complex flavour married with a fresh and very zippy acidity. The Roter Veltliner is certainly one to be savoured as these grapes don’t flourish easily, and require a dedicated and patient winemaker who is prepared to wait for low-yielding, late maturing grapes. If aromatics and wine discoveries are your thing, make it worth Mr. Ecker’s while and take a punt on something slightly different here, you won’t be disappointed.

"Light greenish-yellow, silver reflections. Hints of yellow pear with a touch of fresh meadow herbs and notes of baby banana. Medium body, green apples on the palate with fresh acidity, fine lemony nuances and saline notes on the finish. An elegant style making a very appealing companion to food." - 91 Pts, Peter Moser, Falstaff
