Not just a trend - Orange Wines from Austria 

Grüner Veltliner Vielfalt 2020, Matthias Hager: The first truly orange wine in our portfolio! The Grüner Veltliner Vielfalt, meaning ‘Diversity’, is a cuvee from a variety of Veltliner vineyards made by veteran, biodynamic wine grower Matthias Hager. Handpicked, then fermented on its own natural yeasts, stored in large wooden barrels and bottled late. 20% of the wine is fermented on its skin adding to the signature tannic structure and colour of orange wine. Goes well with Middle Eastern Food and BBQ.     

Hollötrio Gruener Veltliner, Bauer,1 Litre: Our first wines from the Wagram wine region on the Danube west of Vienna and one of three new orange wines in our portfolio. Organic, unfiltered and natural. One part of the Grüner Veltliner grapes, that go into Hollötrio are pressed after a short time on the skins and one part is left for 3 weeks on the skins, then blended. After 4 months of maturation the wine is bottled, unfiltered. Apple and light tannic grip typical for orange wines, with some peach-maracuja mix, lime and melon and a touch of green pepper. Perfect for a BBQ or a party.

Urig Roter Veltliner, Bauer, 2021: Roter Veltliner is a real rarity and is only distantly related to Grüner Veltliner. The Urig is matured for a whole year in 600l barrels before bottling. Organic, unfiltered and natural. Peach, quince and a hint of peppermint on the nose, gooseberry and almonds combined with the typical apple cider and tannic orange wine note. Great with light game dishes or as an aperitif.
