Salomon-Undhof Gruner Veltliner Hochterassen 2024

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 bring them back by popular demand.

First the domaine’s Hochterassen 2024 Grüner Veltliner. This comes from vines high up on the slopes, above the family’s historic plots – the vines are younger and wine they produce is less serious but no less enjoyable. This is fresh, clean, lightweight wine with a lovely profile – white flowers, stones and lime. The mouth is short, very dry, and light (12% alcohol) – “wine that wants to be water,” comes to mind. Pour this all summer.
