Lenzmark New Chapter Grüner Veltliner Duo - 2023 & 2024

The New Chapter Grüner Veltliner is a fantastic wine that is currently making waves internationally. It's made by two renowned winemakers, Markus Huber & Lenz. It's incomparable to the more "old-style" Gruner Veltliner, and in blind tastings and reference tastings, it's placed alongside expensive Hermitage or Burgundy. It's now a premium wine at Emirates.

Despite its young age, we also want to give you the opportunity to taste two vintages, and because we are so convinced, we are offering this set of two vintages of New Chapter at an attractive discount (if you order separately, the price is €65.90).

The 10th-generation Markus Huber family estate is located in Traisental, an hour's drive west of Vienna, in the heart of the Grüner region. The estate is 100% organic, covers 60 hectares, and 70% is planted with Grüner Veltliner. Markus is THE specialist and has been named Austria's best winemaker of the year. The wine is a blend of Markus's finest vineyards in the Traisental region, and the goal is to create a white wine that can compete with the world's finest, in a style that is powerful yet not opulent, and with a focus on elegance. They call this a Gruner Veltliner made with a Burgundy style. So, freshness, elegance, but with finesse and long aging through oak aging.

The Gruner Veltliner grapes come from a vineyard located on limestone with a clay covering. The bunches are destemmed, aged for eight hours, and then cold-soaked. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with yeast contact until bottling, after which the wine matures/ages in barriques (225 liters) and larger oak barrels. In the glass, the New Chapter is a clear, light yellow and boasts fantastic values, including a low alcohol content of 13%, only 2.5 g/l of residual sugar, and a pleasant pH of 3.3. The nose reveals Austrian hills with soft, slightly smoky herbs, a hint of apple, guava, mango, and abundant yellow fruit. On the palate, it offers complex, elegant aromas of yellow pear, mineral notes (chalk, gravel), and a spicy, long finish.
