Castle Rock Estate Grüner Veltliner

The signature white grape variety of Austria, Gruner Veltliner is well suited to our premium cool climate viticulture and winemaking at Castle Rock Estate. All estate fruit. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, free run juice and medium pressings, light settling before being racked to barrel with some solids. Fermented and matured in older French Puncheons and Barriques, left on lees for 5 months with minimal stirring.

The Castle Rock Estate Gruner Veltliner has a bright, delicate and fresh palate. The guava carries through, backed by feijoa and subtle spice. There’s a hint of richness from lees contact, adding a savoury element to the wine as seen in previous vintages. A long Lingering finish and lovely mouthfeel.

Traditionally pairs well with delicate meats, think roast pork or veal schnitzel. Alternatively, Fish and Chips on a warm sunny day.

Will continue to bottle age for another 10 years.
