Veyder-Malberg Riesling 'Brandstatt' Wachau 2020

The manual cultivation Wachau's ancient dry-stone terraces at Veyder-Malberg is not easy. Compared to a vineyard where a machine could work, this land requires five times the amount of effort. But Peter Veyder-Malberg takes on the task: "I have made it my goal to acquire exposed terraces with mainly old vines and to save them from being cleared," he says. "Although this can only be done by hand - without machines - I am convinced: the wine qualities are so unique, full of character and spectacular that it is worth the effort." We agree. ‘Brandstatt’ is Peter’s recultivation project, located in one of Wachau’s coolest microclimates, rooted in mica schist soils. 'Brandstatt' is complex, bright, and ageworthy. Peter only produces 1000 cases, and so we're blessed to have a few to share with you.
