Schödl Family – In den Kreuthern – Grüner Veltliner – 2023
The Schödl's top Grüner Veltliner cuvee comes from the family's oldest parcel. The In den Kreuthern's 60 year old vines thrive in deep, chalky soils and produce small clusters filled with deep concentration and distinct minerality. Whole bunches undergo 12 hours of skin contact. Fermentation takes place in large oak foudres after a gentle pressing, followed by bottling after a 12 month aging period on fine lees, without filtration. The result is a wine with aromas of pears, white flower, and subtle minerality on the nose, complemented by spicy notes, elegant acidity, and a saline palate.

THE SCHÖDL FAMILY originally built their farm at the end of World War II as a mixed agriculture and wine operation, it was then transformed into a vineyard and winemaking focused operation in the 1980’s by Hubert Schödl, a winemaking professor. Since 2012 the winery has been run by his children Matthias, Leonhard and Viktoria. Nestled between Vienna and the Czech Republic the Weinviertel region is influenced by the Danube and March rivers and a Pannonian climate of hot, dry summers and dry, cold winters. The resulting grapes reach full ripeness and maintain refreshing acidity.
True cool climate wines. The Schödl’s focus on several unique expressions of Grüner Veltliner and St. Laurent. Chardonnay, Weisser Burgunder and Pinot Noir are also grown for the production of world class sparkling wines. In and around the village of Loidesthal the Schödl’s 15 ha of vineyards are all farmed organically.
Farmed organically with biodynamic principles since 2014, and certified organic in 2019. Low till, natural fertilization, cover crops, bees and other beneficial insects all exist in the vineyard creating robust soil and vine health
