This beautiful organic Guts Reserve from 2011 is made from 100% Grüner Veltliner . This wine is special because the winery (Geyerhof) has aged it for a very long time. No less than 6.5 years on the big barrel in a large barrel! This Guts reserve has full and juicy aromas on the nose (ripe pure Claude plum, hazelnut and a hint of balm). Beautiful in texture, silky with an elegant tension and a great juicy, long finish. It is recommended to drink this wine at a temperature of around 10 ° C. This wine combines very well with fish dishes, sushi and with spicy and / or chili spiced dishes.

Granulite is metamorphic - or converted - rock that is light and sometimes appears violet - streaked from the dark mica (biotite). The grapes for this wine were manually harvested in mid-November and placed in small crates. After pressing the whole bunches and natural pre-filtration, this wine has been lying on a large barrel for 6.5 years before being bottled.

Organic viticulture

Geyerhof is located in Kremstal. Most of Kremstal is on the north side of the Danube, around the town of Krems, but Geyerhof is on the south side, below the famous Göttweig monastery. Ilse Maier grows grapes here on 15 hectares of vineyards with different types of soil, such as loess, sand and gravel. The vineyards take advantage of their optimal location and proximity to the River Danube. The striking temperature differences between day and night reinforce the complexity of these top quality wines. Of course she makes beautiful Grüner Veltliner, but also a friendly Zweigelt and Riesling with unprecedented storage potential (Goldberg). Wines with a very juicy style, with sufficient freshness and fully organic certified.

Organic viticulture is the biggest challenge in Geyerhof's efforts to continuously improve quality. It is often like a tightrope walker without a net. It requires in-depth knowledge, enormous sensitivity and a willingness to take risks. Organic cultivation is more than just deprivation of chemicals. A prerequisite is the knowledge that the laws of nature are unchangeable. Recognizing these laws and living with them has been a matter of course for thousands of years. It is a constant balance between nature and civilization. In practice, this requires meticulous and demanding manual work. A small mistake, a small omission over the course of a wine year can have disastrous consequences. Vines can only thrive on healthy soils in the long term and only then can the terroir really express itself in the wines. The basis for exceptional wines is always the vineyard.

Geyerhof winery has been organically certified by Austria Bio Guarantee since 1988. The know-how gained in the past 25 years in organic wine growing has been achieved with great courage and patience and has been financially costly. However, the result of all efforts is impressive, and that is great wines of more than excellent quality.
