History
Federspiel wines have a maximum alcohol content of 12.5% and Chaptalisation is strictly forbidden. The name Federspiel is derived from falconry which was a very popular leisure time activity among the nobility in medieval times. The falcon stands for the remarkable elegance of these dry white wines. Federspiel® is a registered trademark of Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus e.V.
Regional Information
Chosen for their specific microclimate and meagre primary rock soils, the vineyard sites for Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen were carefully hand-picked from steeply terraced vineyards throughout the Wachau valley. It exhibits a very typical and consistent style of Grüner Veltliner from Wachau characterized by fresh fruit and a pronounced minerality.

Vinification Details
The vines are cultivated in the classical Lenz Moser-trellis system with an average yield of 8.000 kg/ha. The grapes for this wine were handpicked between the beginning and middle of October. Our modern grape reception system enables us to select only 100% healthy grape material. Gentle pressing, sedimentation overnight, temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel define the vinification process. A moderate reductive treatment guarantees a fresh and fruity, yet well-structured wine.

Pleasant enough but not distinctive
Makes a pleasant enough tipple but in my view just isn't distinctive enough to stand out and justify its pricing. One of the bottles I had also had a suspect capsule - the others were fine though.

This was recommended by an Hungarian friend as one of the best Gruner Veltliners on sale in this country. Easy drinking and flinty, quite delicious. Takes me back to the Austrian slopes!
