2012 Paul Direder Grüner Veltliner; Wagram, Austria

paulDgrunerWebYoung wine-maker (24) Paul Direder likes nature: “Nature is life.  It is very interesting to me what grows within one year, bears fruit and dies away.”  As one of eight grandchildren of the Direder family in Kirchberg am Wagram (50 km west of Vienna) he inherited the passion for wine from his grandfather. Paul D. has grown into his responsibility as winemaker – while his grandfather Leopold Direder stands by his side with vineyard knowledge and competence. Anton Bauer, a long-time friend and now mentor, provides valuable expertise to his young protege, who has vaulted onto the Austrian wine scene as a young vintner to watch.

Lemon/lime and spice aromas can be found in the nose of  this refreshing thirst-quencher, tailor made for quaffing outdoors on hot summer days. The wine is pleasingly dry with floral and spicy citrus flavors in its straight-forward character.
