Martin & Anna Arndorfer Gruner Veltliner Per Se 2021

 MARTIN & ANNA ARNDORFER GRUNER VELTLINER PER SE 2021
Kamptal / Austria
-
The Arndorfers began experimenting with extended skin contact in 2012 with three varietals— Müller-Thurgau, Neuburger and Grüner Veltliner. “Per Se” is a radical experiment challenging the notion that orange wines cannot show varietal character. The Gruner Veltliner “Per Se” is an orange wine with a deep expression of pear, green apple, and aromas of white flowers with a touch of tannin. 14 days on skins and aged in old barrels with 16 months on the lees, this savoury wine is elegant, racy, and refined at the same time.
