This month has been a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGruner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of a month for the cool-climate Adelaide Hills wine region. Firstly, our second vintage, the Hahndorf Hill \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGRU\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Gruner Veltliner 2011 has finally been bottled and labelled and is now resting in our underground cellar awaiting release towards October this year.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been very exciting to see how this variety has been moulded by the terroir of our region \u00e2\u20ac\u201c already this young wine is exhibiting a great freshness, a fine minerality and mouthfilling textural components that one would expect from the cool vintage,\u00c2\u00a0the low yields that were maintained and the gravelly-slatey soil in which our Gruner\u00c2\u00a0is grown. Our three different clones were hand-harvested together and then fermented in stainless tanks until bone dry.<\/p>\n
We look forward to its release which we hope to synchronise with the Adelaide Hills’ Spring Whites, Earthly Delights<\/em> festival in October.<\/p>\n K1 Gruner Veltliner 2011<\/p><\/div>\n The second big \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGruner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 event in the Adelaide Hills this month was the release of the maiden vintage K1 Gruner Veltliner 2011. This is an exciting milestone for the region and we all hope to welcome several new producers of this variety over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n The K1 Gruner is a perfect example of the crisp, refreshing style of this variety with a bright golden-green colour and enticing green-apple and citrus nose. Wonderfully pure on the palate with a great anticipation of freshness. A marvellously smooth mouthfeel plus\u00c2\u00a0delicate flavours and spiciness that tease the palate into thinking that summer is just around the corner! Well done to the K1 team! http:\/\/www.k1.com.au\/tasting\/gruner-veltliner.asp<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information on Gruner Veltliner in the Adelaide Hills, click here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/ilfxBa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month has been a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGruner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of a month for the cool-climate Adelaide Hills wine region.
