Winzer Krems Weinzierl Gruner Veltliner 2023 (750ml)

Winzer Krems is a cooperative in Austria's Kremstal region, and this Grüner Veltliner comes from their Weinzierl vineyard. The 2023 vintage captures the varietal's characteristic white pepper and herbaceous minerality in a dry, still wine meant for near-term drinking.

The wine opens with bright green apple and citrus notes, layered with a subtle white pepper spice that builds through the palate. There's a mineral edge that sits cleanly against the fruit, giving the wine a linear structure and crisp finish. The alcohol is restrained, and the overall impression is of freshness and clarity, a straightforward expression that lets the fruit and acidity speak for themselves.
