Grüner Veltliner Strassertal

Three soils, one wine: The Grüner Veltliner Strassertal from Johann Topf is an assemblage from the most distinctive sites of the Strasstal – and shows what makes this area in the Kamptal so special.

Winemaker Johann Topf works with plots on slate-rich soil on the Zöbinger Gaisberg, on barren gneiss on the Wechselberg, and on loess-rich areas on the Offenberg. This diversity of soils is no accident, but rather a deliberate strategy: The Strassertal Grüner Veltliner is intended to reflect the entire landscape of the village in a single bottle – a kind of cross-section of the Strasstal's geology.

In the glass, it displays the typical characteristics of Kamptal Grüner Veltliner: fresh acidity, white pepper on the finish, along with aromas of green apple, citrus peel, and a mineral undertone imparted by the slate and gneiss soils. The body is medium-bodied, the finish dry and invigorating.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Wiener Schnitzel, trout with almond butter, young goat cheese, or a simple charcuterie board. Drinking window: now until 2027.
