We want to take a moment to congratulate Mehofer for a fantastic review! Wine Enthusiast has given Mehofer Klassik Grüner Veltliner 2019 90 points and a Best Buy distinction! This organic wine has a fresh nose of apple and herbs with nutty notes. It's delicate and elegant on the palate with continued balanced flavors of fruit and herbs, and a medium body.
The Mehofer family has lived and farmed the land in Neudeggerhof, Austria for 10 generations, over 300 years! In 1992, they became one of the first wineries in the area to convert to 100% organic production.
Stephan Mehofer, grower, winemaker and head of the 10th generation, goes beyond using organic methods by dry farming the vineyards and seeding the rows with a mix of clover, buckwheat, and radishes to encourage biodiversity. He deeply believes in the philosophy of making the wine on the vineyard, comparing the grapes to musicians in an orchestra and explaining “The winemaker, as a conductor, only spreads what already exists." As a result, he employs as few interventions as possible in the cellar, using no winemaking additives and only lightly fining or filtering.
