2023 Steininger - Gruner Veltiner Loisium DAC Kamptal Reserve Stephen Holl (750ml)

Meet a Grüner Veltliner that wears its story on the label. The Ried Loisium vineyard sits directly behind the Steininger estate, and the label itself features the original architectural blueprints of the Loisium Wine World — conceived by renowned New York architect Steven Holl. Karl Steininger named this Grüner Veltliner in Holl’s honor, a wine that stands as both powerful and lively, with exotic notes of lychee and herbs.

Tasting notes

• On the nose: generous tropical and orchard fruit — Asian pear, melon, and banana — layered with the signature peppery Grüner spice and a touch of fresh herbs.
• On the palate: vibrant acidity carries flavors to a long, refined finish, with a nuanced herbaceous edge that complements the fruit-driven profile.
