Description
This beautiful organic Geyerhof Stockwerk is a 100% Grüner Veltliner . This wine has a sparkling green-yellow color. The expressive nose contains freshly mown field herbs, green apples and pears. The taste is lively, with pleasantly ripe acidity, a light pepper note and a pleasant balance between light-heartedness and filling. Pleasantly long aftertaste. All in all, a very friendly Grüner Veltliner with the typical characteristics of the grape variety at a very reasonable price.
This Grüner Veltliner comes from an east-facing vineyard in the Kremstal in Lower Austria, the most important wine region in Austria. The Kremstal area is located on both sides of the Danube, surrounding the city of Krems. The vineyard has a lean soil consisting of loess developed from crystalline granulite. 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 harvested manually in mid-November and placed in small crates. After pressing the whole bunches and natural pre-filtration, this wine spent no less than 6.5 years on coarse lees in a large barrel before being bottled.
The producer of this wine is the Geyerhof winery, whose vineyards are located on the south side of the Danube below the famous Göttweig monastery. Wine is the focus of daily life at Geyerhof. Joy and respect for life determine the actions and methods. The winery was first mentioned in the municipal archives in the 12th century and has been in the family since the 16th century. Since 1988, Ilse and Josef Maier have passionately cultivated 23 hectares of vineyards here according to organic regulations. Since 2015, Maria & Josef, the next generations, have joined the family business. lse Maier and her son make organic wines that are juicy and friendly at Geyerhof in the Kremstal. The Grüner Veltliner grape variety covers approximately 70% of Geyerhof's vineyards. Special emphasis is placed on the authentic expression of individual vineyards in the single-vineyard wines.

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.
