K1 By Geoff HardyAdelaide Hills Grüner Veltliner 2024
About this product
Story:Planted in the ancient soils of the K1 Vineyard, Gruner Veltliner has found a new home in the cool southern Adelaide Hills where it produces exceptional white wines that capture both the old-world essence of Austria and the modern vibrancy and clarity of Australia.
Vintage:The 2024 Vintage at Kl was initiated by a very wet springafter a relatively dry July, August and September. The wet periodincluded two large rainfalls during November and early Decemberleading to spoilt flowering, very low berry numbers and anextremely low crop in most varieties. These low crops were blessedwith cool dry conditions throughout the three months up tovintage giving fabulous flavour development very much like the2002 season which makes me confident of wines that will agebrilliantly.
Nose:On the nose you will find scents like; jasmine, mandarin, pear, citrus blossom, white stonefruit and grapefruit with hints of celery and pepper.
Palate:When you taste it, you'll get citrus and mandarin flavourswith hints of celery seed and savory spice. The wine has goodacidity and a textured feel, making it well-rounded. It also had 20%skin contact during production, which adds to its unique character.
Pairing:For a delicious dining experience, pair this Grüner Veltliner with a vibrant Vietnamese-style salad featuring lemongrass chicken or pork.
