Ried Rosenberg:
The crown jewel and the top vineyard for Bernhard. The vineyards are in a sort of amphitheater which is open to the south but protects the vines from the wind (high elevation here, from 280-320 meters above sea level). Here we find the deepest, calcareous loess soils, up to 20 meters deep and the oldest vines, some of which were planted in 1956. This is the inspiration for Bernhard’s life’s work.

"The deep nose of quince, nuts and yellow apples pulls you into this compelling, seriously structured, medium-bodied gruner veltliner. Quite a radical style, but with so much depth and subtlety. Extremely long, nobly austere finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"More savoury and spicy than the two Leth Grüner 2023s just tasted and with ripe pear, plus a marked chalky impression. Powerful, rich and yet fresh, with the complexity from an extra year in bottle. Well balanced. Persistent finish. (JH)"

"The 2021 Grüner Veltliner Rosenberg is harvested from 1956-planted vines that root in deep loess. The wine stays on gross lees for two winters. The second winter, so Ott, is crucial, as the yeasts pull back some of the richness they initially lent to the wine. This is immediately creamy on the nose, while the palate comes in with immense concentration. Zestiness and stoniness meet on the linear, precise frame. Lemon follows on this trail with urgency and insistence. This wine is a contradiction of everything you may think of loess. The finish is long and shows off a subtle but very becoming astringency, lending both structure and beauty. (Bone-dry)"

"A unique gruner veltliner with aromas of candied orange, tarragon and roses. Very deep and concentrated, without being in the least dramatic, much less demonstrative. Like a hang glider, this defies gravity and sails out into the distance, carrying you with it. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
