Weszeli, Langenlois Gruner Veltliner

Pale golden yellow in colour. The bouquet reveals spicy and herbaceous notes, calm shades of pear and yellow apple, rather pronounced and rounded tones of orange. The palate is vibrant, classically dry with notes of citrus and quince, filigree in the finish, stimulating and charming.

A father of three, Davis Weszeli switched from the hustle and bustle of city life to agriculture in order to be closer to nature. His appreciate for the art of the Kamptal vintners early on led him to acquire the fabulous Summerer winery in 2011 from Rupert Summerer, a now retired and highly respected winegrower who put together a stable of very important parcels in some of this region’s most highly sought after vineyards. Sustainability of organic viticulture (now certified organic and also practicing biodynamic farming) and the authenticity of the wines led Davis to a winemaking approach with no additives (outside of sulfites) and no technical tricks. Guided by each vineyard’s ecosystem in order to fully benefit from the potential of their terroir, Weszeli’s approach utilizes a combination of understanding for the old and proven, and even some unorthodox approaches to explore hidden layers of complexity not often found in young wines. The results are intensely complex wines with an unparalleled style for the area.
