Wine Insight
“These are wines that are not symmetrical, nor polished perfectly smooth. They have rough edges. They do not follow a formula. They do not harmonize in major chords; they have a faint minor key to them. They show their patina of age, or in the roughness of their youth they choose not to obscure their rawness with anything, but leave it bare to my palate.Wines that are wabi-sabi evoke something deeper than flavors, deeper even than a place. Wabi-sabi involves a deep connection with reality, in a way that is unvarnished, but also rich and profound in its intimacy. And this is what I find in the most magical wines.”
“Achleiten” is a site with typical Gneiss and amphibolite soils overlooking the Danube river and a perfect home ground for Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. The Wabi Sabi Grüner edition of this unique parcel is not your common grape juice. It offers more of the herbal side of the aromatic spectrum and quite some grip. Its power relies more on personality than alcohol. There is more than pepper to Grüner Veltliner!
