Riesling Braitenpuechtorff Ingrid Groiss

The Riesling Braitenpuechtorff is the mineral-driven calling card of Ingrid Groiss – the unconventional organic winemaker from Breitenwaida in the northern Weinviertel region, where Riesling plays a rather unexpected, but all the more compelling, role. The vineyard's name is not invented, but rooted in history: Braitenpuechtorff is the Middle High German name for present-day Breitenwaida – a place that has cultivated wine since the Middle Ages. The old vines are rooted in weathered primary rock soils of gneiss and granite, which give the Riesling its distinctive salinity and depth.

Organically farmed, hand-picked and vinified with spontaneous yeasts during a long, cool fermentation – without any manipulation, only the expression of the location and the vintage counts.

In the glass, a pale yellow-green with silver reflections. The nose opens delicately and invitingly with white peach, kumquat, blossom honey, and herbal nuances, underpinned by a dark, cool minerality. On the palate, juicy and firm, with lively acidity, a saline freshness, and a long, precise finish.

Served at 8–10 °C with 12.0–12.5% ​​ABV. An ideal accompaniment to trout, oysters, sushi, light poultry and fresh goat cheese – purist, mineral and unmistakably Weinviertel.
