Stift Gottweig - Gruner Velt Messwein 2023 (750ml) Gift Set

Stift Gottweig - Gruner Velt Messwein 2023 (750ml) Gift SetThe Gttweiger Messwein, or altar wine, has been an institution in this Benedictine monastery for centuries. Grner Veltliner and ros (from Pinot Noir) are vinified as light, dry wines. From the nature friendly cultivation of the vineyards to the care and processing of the grapes and wine, the purity law of the church must be strictly observed. Messwein cannot be produced without the permission of the bishop, and it must be only natural and unaltered.

this celebrated bubbly has versatility at the table that can be shared time and time again

Particularly perfect with smoked salmon and seafood

‘memories’ of bay-leaf and a lingering finish of sweet orange

Worthy of some time in the cellar

with layers of tannins that demand aging

a small subregion of Friuli in the far northeast of Italy

The tannins are well- integrated and the acidity beautifully balanced

wet stones and a trace of spun sugar

which is a hallmark of this vineyard

Ripe and fleshy

And while this is labelled and sold as Bordeaux Supérieur
