For more than 300 years, the Hagn family has grown grapes in Weinviertel, Austria's northernmost wine region. Grüner Veltliner Classic is the essence of the place - fresh, elegant and carrying the characteristic pepper note that has made the grape the country's signature.
Expert's Description
Grüner Veltliner Classic is a White Wine from Weinviertel in Austria made from the Grüner Veltliner grape, bottled at 12.5% ABV.
Weingut Hagn destems the grapes and macerates them for four hours on the skins to bring out aroma and structure, after which the wine matures for three months in steel tanks - preserving purity, freshness and crisp acidity. With residual sugar of 3.2 g/l and acidity of 5.6 g/l, the wine is dry, fresh and well balanced. Alongside Grüner Veltliner, the family also grows Riesling, Gelber Muskateller and Zweigelt, all farmed with the same respect for the terroir.
