Christoph Edelbauer has gained a rabid following of wine freaks all throughout Europe (so much so that his wine rarely makes it this side of the Atlantic!). How could recent vintage Gruner Veltliner, usually relegated to the stuff of cheap summer slammers, earn such a collection of devotees? Easy: source from Grand Cru level, old vine vineyards in Langenlois, be painstakingly meticulous in tending to those vineyards, and draw inspiration from Burgundian winemaking techniques. The result? A wine that justifies the hype, with an explosively composed palate of wildflowers, green orchard fruit, lime leaf, and crushed stone. Who knows - you, too, might find yourself worshiping at the altar of Edelbauer.
