The Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Leopold and the Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Pfarrweingarten are something like very different twins. Both wines were created at a time when single-vineyard wines were not yet so heavily promoted, and for a long time they were the quality flagship of our winery. They still are, except that the range has broadened somewhat with the Riesling Ried Moosburgerin and the Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Vordernberg. The Leopold, named by the winery\u2019s founder Walter Buchegger after his father, comes from selected vines in our best vineyards, whose grapes are harvested very late each year when they have reached a high level of ripeness. Walter Buchegger once said that the Leopold should be \u201ca prackata Wein\u201d\u2014that is, a robust, full-bodied, smooth wine with richness and depth. We leave the wine on the mash longer than the Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Pfarrweingarten (namely about six hours) and then allow it to ferment and age in large, neutral oak barrels. This gives it a rounder flavor than the Pfarrweingarten. It captivates with its opulent texture and tropical fruit nuances; it is juicy, mineral-driven, and full of finesse, and is well worth long-term aging. All of these qualities are why the Leopold was awarded the Falstaff Kremstal DAC Cup a few years ago. Also available in older vintages. <\/p>
