100% Roter Veltliner
Expressive, this offers classic flavors of apple, passion fruit and tangerine, all balanced by intense, racy acidity. A hint of mineral salinity shows on the clean finish.
Toni Söllner is a small-scale producer of handcrafted Bio-Veritas wines in the hills of the Donauland, looking over the Danube valley and the Alps, just to the east of the Kamptal. The vines grow on terraces of loess, mussel-chalk, and red gravel, amidst herbs, legumes and wild flowers. The wines are aged in large Oak foudre in the traditional Austrian fashion. Very well balanced, very natural tasting wines, with the Hengstberg being at least the equivalent of a good Wachau, with expressive minerality.
