Grüner Veltliner Lamm, Erste Lage
Kamptal DAC Reserve 2010 
Description of the Wine
The 'Lamm' Territory delights connoisseurs each year with its overly stand-alone and particularly expressive Grüner Veltliner vintages. On the tongue - this Wine is characterized by a full body and deep aftertaste with mature stone-fruit aromas, and expansive multi-layering. The Wine has an elegant edge and juiciness with delicate mineral notes in the aftertaste - this is a Grüner Veltliner with good ageing potential.
alcohol by vol: 13,5%, acidity 7,3‰, residual sugar 8,0 g/l
The Lamm Territory
The Lamm Vineyards lie to the southeast of the 'Heiligenstein' elevation. The deep-soiled loess and clay formation is traversed by volcanic rock with predominant silt deposits. The Gruene Veltliner vine enjoys the ideal conditions on these deep-soiled and manured terraces with their southerly aspect, to generate a particularly multilayered and expressive wine.
The development of the Wine
The grapes are harvested towards the end of October in small crates and subjected to several manual selections. A careful vinification process commences in the wine press house and the mash is left to stand for a dwell time of some 12 hours. The self-clarifying juice slowly ferments without temperature monitoring in 500 litre oak barrels by means of autochthonous self-produced yeast. After the tapping in the springtime, the expressive Gruene Veltliner matures on its fine yeast in the 700 year old natural cellar at a constant 11°C, before being bottled in the following September.
Ageing potential: 2020
