Salomon’s vibrant new Grüner-Veltliner for summer drinking

Fresh lime, white flowers and stones — “wine that wants to be water.”

Salomon Undhof is a centuries-old winery in Krems, Austria overlooking the Danube River. Today 7th and 8th generation winemakers Bert and Bert Salomon run the estate, and they’re among the best respected sources in the region. They’ve become favorites of many readers (as well as our own family) and we’re delighted to have them back in stock.

“Austrian wine” is nearly synonymous with Grüner-Veltliner, and indeed 75% of the world’s Grüner is Austrian. The grape’s typical expression is dry and savory, with excellent acidity and low alcohol. Today we’re introducing a new grüner cuvée from Salomon: the 2024 Hochterassen.

This comes from vines high up on the slopes, above the family’s historic plots – the vines are younger and wine they produce is lightweight and vibrant. This is fresh, clean, lightweight wine with a lovely profile – white flowers, stones and lime. The mouth is short, very dry, and refreshing (12% alcohol) – the phrase “wine that wants to be water,” comes to mind. Pour this all summer on the patio.
