Design Center Linz and Weinviertel Tourismus joined forces to present a spectacular wine fair. Over 140 passionate winegrowers from the renowned Weinviertel region brought their authentic white wines straight to your doorstep.
Unveiling the Vintages
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with the latest release of Weinviertel DAC. The 2023 vintage promises to captivate with its vibrant flavors and character. From the crisp acidity to the signature pepper notes, experience the hallmark qualities that define Grüner Veltliner from Weinviertel. Stop by, taste, and savor the freshness of the new harvest—it's an experience you won't want to miss.
Wine tasting
Preferred white wines encompass a diverse range of styles, each offering its own unique charm and character. Between 17:00 and 18:00, the showroom was full of wine enthusiasts, gravitating towards varietals that showcase bright fruit flavors, refreshing acidity, and a harmonious balance. And I would like to present few vintages of high interest:
- Weingut Hannes Edlinger, Grüner Veltliner Ried Galgenberg (2022): A delicate dry white wine; on the nose, yellow tropical fruit, a hint of pineapple and papaya; on the palate, fresh, mineral, medium-to-high acidity, with elegant and pepper note finish.
- Weingut Wolfgang Seher, Grüner Veltliner Kapellenberg (2022): An elegant and complex dry white wine; on the nose, yellow fruits, ripe pear, dried fruits, white pepper; on the palate, fresh, mineral, good texture, with a long and pleasant aftertaste with note of pepper.
- Weingut Setzer, Große Reserve Ried Laa (2022): A complex and strong dry white wine; on the nose, yellow apple and tropical fruits (banana); on the palate, very expressive, velvety, balanced on mineral and acidity. Elegant and fresh aftertaste.
- Weingut Zull, Weites Land Cuvée blanc (2022): A pleasant dry white wine blend of Viognier, Riesling and Chardonnay; on the nose, an elegant bouquet of ripe fruits; on the palate, versatile and refreshing acidity, with a great and long finish.
