  • Mathias Ruttenstock, 4Th Generation Winemaker in Röschitz in the Weinviertel Category: Grüner Veltliner Region of Austria
    www.ruttenstock.at Weinviertel www.weinvierteldac.at Falstaff Grüner Grand Prix winner 2017 Winery Ruttenstock Main street 21 A-3743 Röschitz Lower Austria A well-earned victory in the most important Mathias Ruttenstock, 4th generation winemaker in Röschitz in the Weinviertel category: Grüner Veltliner region of Austria. He has been in charge of the winery since 2011, following the footsteps of his father, grandfather and great grandfather. Mathias gained his experience by working with Anton Bauer in the Wagram and through internships at Roman Pfaffl and Julius Klein. Fallstaff Magazine awarded his Grüner Veltliner DAC Classic 2016 the prestigious Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix 2017 prize. The vineyard is small, with only 42 acres and a total production of 80,000 bottles. The vast Weinviertel stretches from the Danube valley in the south to the Czech border in the north, and from the Manhartsberg in the west to the border of Slovakia in the east. The Weinviertel is mostly known for Grüner Veltliner and the first DAC in Austria. If the label reads Weinviertel DAC it is always 100% Grüner Veltliner. A highlight of the western part of Weinviertel is the area around the historic wine- trading town of Retz, with its labyrinth of underground wine cellars. Liter Grüner Veltliner 2019 Almost Sauvignon Blanc like, this Grüner has a very aromatic nose, some citrus, classic white pepper and a clean fresh finish. Alc: 12 % acidity: 6.1 g/l residual sugar 1.5 g/l Grüner Veltliner DAC Klassik Weinviertel 2019 Peppery and spicy, yellow apples, very slender and elegant, a little bit of grapefruit, unbelievably fresh and animating.
