Note di degustazione
Still rather reductive but deep and intense on the dense and complex nose, the 2021 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1ÖTW is a very complex white from Langenlois's most famous Veltliner site. It is a full-bodied but utterly mineral wine that adds muscles to the body, which is not based on alcohol and fruit but built by layers of minerals, phenols, sulfur (?) and tension. This full-bodied and structured wine is still far too tight and young to be served, but it is full of promising potential. It's a spectacularly long Lamm provided with fine tannins and positive astringency. A release date three years after the harvest would still be early enough. Beware, this wine is a challenge. (And I tasted it over three weeks...) 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2024.

The 2021 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm is from parcels directly on the Heilgienstein border, on the eastern flank of the site. It was fermented in 300-liter barrels (20% were new), with gentle bâtonnage for around four to six weeks. Smoke, hazelnut and honey hover over a much more tender but distinct note of peppery yeast. The body is immediately fluid and fresh, with a wave of brightness washing over the palate, followed by the sensation of depth. A lovely chalkiness pervades the mouth, edged with a sensation that is like an amalgam of hazelnut and white pepper, backed by a dried yarrow flavor. Depth, poise and full but exacting contour shine, echoing impressively long on the finish. (Bone-dry)
Kammern. Calcareous and loamy soils, derived from the underlying loess. In the higher parts, siltstone and sandstone emerge. At 213–283 m elevation. Certified sustainable (Nachhaltig Austria) and organic (EU BIO). Lemon-peel 'tell' of new oak, toast and crisp yellow fruit. Piercingly fresh and lithe, with plenty of expressive clementine and pear. Much of the site's nuance is temporarily obscured behind the carnival mask of oak and youth. (PS)
