“The 2022 Grüner Veltlier Monopol Stern is picked in a subparcel of Ried Bruck, on mica schist. These are the estates oldes vines, around 70 years old, at most, 600-700 bottles were made of this. This was fermented in 600 liter barrels, showing the smooth creaminess of hazelnut oak. The palate is peppery and serene, very long and smooth. It’s imbued with fruit and a statuesque, elongated nature, again with absolute cut, concentration and a return to that smooth, nutty creaminess on the finish (Bone dry). “95p.

“From 70+-year-old, low-yielding vines on a shallow mica schist terroir within the Viessling Ried Bruck, Spitzer Graben, the 2022 Grüner Veltliner Ried Stern Monopol opens with a deep, clear and refined bouquet with lemon, stony and herbal aromas intertwined with very discreet oaky and also flinty tones. Round and rich yet pure and elegant on the palate, with generous or even lush and aromatic yellow fruit, this is a full-bodied and fleshy Veltliner that is uplifted and balanced by the fine terroir character and also the delicate tannin grip on the saline and lemon-bitter finish. Vinified in a 600-liter-tonneau this is another excellent Grüner Veltliner from Martin Muthenthaler, one of the the Wachau’s finest producers, even though his vineyards are located backstage from the picturesque scenery right along the Danube River.” 94p.
