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.

Castle Rock Estate is Situated along Porongurup Road within the Plantagenet shire, the vineyard finds its home nestled high in the Porongurup Ranges, just 40 km north of Albany, in the Great Southern wine region of Western Australia. This region in the Great Southern of WA is renowned for its ability to produce wines of exceptional precision and vitality.

At an elevation of 300 meters, the vineyard benefits from its elevated position, inviting cooling south-east breezes that extend the growing season, perfect for the ripening of Pinot Noir. This unique microclimate facilitates the optimal development of varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir, known for their sensitivity to heat and early ripening tendencies. Here, they flourish, attaining peak varietal flavour, ripeness, and balance while preserving natural acidity.

In the vineyard, Castle Rock Estate utilises extensive canopy management to encourage airflow through the vines, thereby reducing the dependence on fungicides. Instead of relying on pesticides or insecticides, we believe in fostering the natural balance of the vineyard, promoting a healthy and robust ecosystem.
