Wachau Awakening
Submitted by Barry’s Wine Notes & Memories
Veyder-Malberg Grüner Veltliner
Loibenberg 2008
Wachau, Austria
Peter Malberg was cellermaster at the Graf Herdegg property. 2008 they went their separate ways and he bought a few acres in Spitz, Wachau. Riesling and Grüner Veltliner…and he is the first grower with a ‘hands-on’ approach. No machinery in sight….Loibenberg with 40 year old vines to work with….
The first impression is of a clear style…the bouquet gives out a light delicate aroma…needs working on..trace of cream…on to the palate..and it is quite complex…if you want a Smaragd bomb..then this is not for you…me…well..somewhere in between…and this is still a little reserved..and left me wanting a touch more…but time may give it more polish.
