Description
The Axpoint vineyard, located in the western part of the Wachau in the Spitzer Graben, benefits from a cooler climate and a wind-sheltered basin. Its striking stone terraces rise nearly 100 metres in elevation and are almost entirely hand-cultivated—a testament to the vineyard’s steepness and tradition.
The 2023 vintage beautifully reflects the site’s elegance and cool-climate character. Aged for several months in large wooden barrels, this Grüner Veltliner delivers both power and minerality, with impressive ageing potential. Dry and expressive, it reveals exotic fruit notes like lychee and melon, accompanied by white pepper and a subtle smoky undertone. A vibrant, racy acidity brings structure and freshness, giving every sip depth, complexity, and length. This is a wine that commands attention—multi-layered and persistent, with a refined, textural finish.
An excellent match for robust dishes such as offal or beef tartare, and equally well-suited to flavourful Asian cuisine with a bit of spice.
