From the very warm bottom of the southeastern part of the Heiligenstein, the 2016 Kamptal Grüner Veltliner Lamm 1ÖTW opens deep, rich and smoky/flinty on the intense and ripe yet fresh and precise nose with its lemon zest aromas. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling Veltliner with stunning purity, piquancy and a coolish mineral grip in the well structured finish. Fine tannins help to keep the tension of this monolithic and age-worthy Veltliner that needs two or three years to gain finesse and relaxation. Tasted as a sample ready to be bottled in late June 2017.

Still very leesy and funky (from reduction) this is a long-term wine with a lot of mineral intensity at the very long finish. Needs two years for the funk to blow off and the fruit to emerge, but this is going to be a very exciting wine if you have the patience. Screw cap.
