Johannes Hirsch's intense citrus colored 2013 Grüner Veltliner Grub Erste Lage from the well protected Kammerner Grub vineyard with its thick loess soils is rich, ripe and subtle on the nose plus very mineral and compact on the palate. This full-bodied, lovely, pure and piquant Veltliner is not as sweet and opulent as many other 2013 Veltliners but firmly structured and finishes with a good grip and a persistent salty aftertaste. (Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate, 93 Pt)
Kammerner Grub
Grub is a kettle-shaped site situated between the Heiligenstein and the Gaisberg, protected from the wind on three sides and open to the southwest. The limestone-rich soil is composed of loess, with the consistency of loamy, sandy silt, containing localised embedded veins of grit and gravel. Underneath the loess lies the Zöbing formation with its silt and sandstone. In short, this is ideal Veltliner territory, where the wines tend to be rather delicate, showing yellow fruit flavours with fine citrus overtones – wines which thanks to their clear minerality are quaffable and vivacious.
