The Wines of Georg Schmelzer
Schmelzer: Grüner Veltliner 2022
Wein
- €15,40
Grüner Veltliner is not a monopoly variety of Lower Austria. In fact, it never has been. There are dozens of proofs to the contrary and Georg Schmelzer's interpretation of the grape variety is one of them. Unlike what we are used to, it does not grow on primary rock and not even on limestone, bu...
