Weingut Proidl, Grüner Veltliner Ried Pellingen Erste Lage, 2024

Weingut Proidl’s Grüner Veltliner Ried Pellingen Erste Lage 2024 comes from one of Kremstal’s most distinctive sites, where warm conditions and a steep 14–22% slope help the variety express remarkable precision and depth. First mentioned as far back as 1590, Pellingen has long been recognized for its special terroir, and today the vineyard’s old vines deliver a wine that combines Grüner Veltliner’s classic peppery character with elegant, energetic fruit.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows the hallmark white-pepper spice that defines great Grüner Veltliner, supported by pure, finely etched fruit and a bright, lively acidity. The palate feels both intense and graceful, with a clean, vibrant profile that gives the wine a sense of freshness and tension rather than weight. With its combination of concentration, structure, and finesse, this is a wine that can be enjoyed young for its vivid energy, but it should also develop beautifully over the coming years, gaining complexity and depth as it ages.

Production
Pellingen is a unique vineyard site in Kremstal, with a warm lower section and a steep incline that creates excellent growing conditions for Grüner Veltliner. The vines are around 55 years old and are farmed with Proidl’s gentle, sustainable approach, helping preserve vine health and fruit quality. Harvest takes place from mid-October into early November in several passes, selecting only fully ripe grapes; part of the crop is macerated on the skins for added aroma, then the wine is fermented slowly with native yeasts and matured extensively on the lees before bottling in August.

Food & Serving
This is an exceptionally versatile food wine, pairing naturally with dishes that echo its spice and freshness—think roast chicken, Wiener schnitzel, grilled fish, shellfish, asparagus, or vegetable dishes with herbs and light cream sauces. Serve it well chilled, around 8–10°C, and there is no need for decanting unless you wish to give it a little extra air for a more open aromatic profile.
