 Anton Bauer

"Rosenberg"

Gruner Veltliner 

2014

Wagram, Austria

Mike is back from Austria and boy did he bring back a sweet deal!

(and, No, we're not talking about pastries)

 

 As you know, we believe the wines coming out of Austria not only represent fantastic quality for the value,

but also a connection to the land and to real people handcrafting genuine (not alchemy) wines.

The report back on the 2015 vintage is outstanding and it's landing stateside next week so with some help from the importer we can offer this 2014  at a nice price.

Both 2014 and 2103 received "Best Value" designations from The Washington Post

Perfect for spring time and summer fare!

 

92 Points!The Wine Enthusiast

 “Very pure fruit notes of yellow peach and ripe pear mingle with fresh citrus zest on nose and palate of this super crisp Grüner. The aftertaste reinforces that wonderful pepperiness and lends extra vivacity to this streamlined, dynamic wine."

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

In true Rosenberg style, this a ripe, powerful, hedonistic Gruner. Unabashedly fruity, with gorgeous, luscious aromas of peaches and nectarine framed by hints of white pepper and herbs. On the palate, this is juicy and fresh, with more pear, apple, honeydew melon, tropical fruit and just a touch of exotic spice. This is far richer than the average Gruner, yet manages to stay dry, lively, refreshing, and bright.

 

About Anton….

Anton Bauer, born in 1971, represents the 4th generation to manage the now 29-hectare winery. After his graduation from the School of Wine and Fruit Growing in Krems, Lower Austria, and a training in Burgundy he worked for more than four years as an oenologist with a renowned Lower Austrian winery. Since 1992, when he took over the winery from his parents, at this time 3,2-hectare, he has been uncompromisingly pursuing his ideas of quality, paying great attention to underlining the typically regional features and the terroir character of the wines that make them incomparable and unique. This philosophy turned out to be a success, and his wines are continuously in great demand. The typically Austrian wines, topped with a certain international touch, stand their ground even in the most competitive world markets: 70% of the annual production is exported, with the most important customers being based in the United States, Great Britain, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands and in Belgium.
