Donabaum Loibnergarten Grüner Veltliner - 2002(W-138)

Donabaum Loibnergarten Grüner Veltliner
Tangy, Zesty Crisp Light

Winery Story

At 26 years old, Johann Donabaum has taken over the reins as the cellarmaster of the relatively small 9 acre family winery in Spitz, whose t... (more...)otal annual case production is 2,100 (85% white, 10% red, 5% sweet). Johann might seem young but he has been in training for this his entire life, included a stint working and learning from F X Pichler, perhaps the most famous vintner from the mighty Wachau region. Johann's white wines, primarily Gruner Veltliner, but also Riesling and Neuburger, are bright, clean, and terroir-driven.

Tasting Note

This delicious, classic Grüner Veltliner has lovely floral aromas with a touch of minerals and white pepper. It has crisp, racy acidity and... (more...) plenty of pear and nectarine fruit flavor for balance. This delicious Austrian wine is available upon request only. To order more, please email sommelier@bottlenotes.com.

Wonderful Riesling with surprisingly nutty taste. Not at all what we expected (not sweet), but absolutely delightful. A big hit at the dinner party we brought it to.
