Viticulture tradition has been a top priority in Groß-Reipersdorf bei Pulkau since 1858. For Simone & Hannes, being a winemaker means capturing the fascination of nature, being sensitive to how the year is developing and bringing the best qualities that nature allows into the cellar. Pulkau fascinates with soils from Maissau granite to fine-grain loess soils on the foothills of the Manhartsberg. These conditions are the origin of their red wine affinity in the white wine-dominated Weinviertel, where they follow their tradition and rely on Zweigelt and St. Laurent. The future of Simone Hiller-Jordan is wine and so she took over the winery with great joy in 2010 and has been running it with enthusiasm and passion ever since.

Winemaking

A reminder of Simone’s time as Federal Wine Queen of Austria 2007-2009, created by father and daughter. The balanced minerality comes from the primary rock soil, paired with a hint of ripe pears, this results in a Veltliner full of character and wonderfully elegant. Matured in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting notes

Ripe pear, fine yellow tropical fruit, some mango, delicate passion fruit; elegant extract sweetness with savoury spiciness; charming and elegant until the finish with wonderful minerality!Recommended serving temperature: 8°C

Food pairing

A real treat with Austrian Tafelspitz (or Schulterscherzerl – for the gourmets) with fine chive sauce, spicy apple horseradish and Anni’s Erdäpfelsterz. But Asian cuisine is not neglected either with this mineral Grüner Veltliner, it goes perfectly with a spicy Pho Bo soup or classic Dim Sum.
