When Gruner first started getting noticed, there was a concerted effort from specific regions to export their wines – Wachau, Kamptal and Kremstal. These small regions account for a small fraction of total production, but are generally considered to produce the “best” wines. So high quality, small production, and increasing demand - that means these wines have started to climb in price.
The solution for us, and for this dynamic duo, is finding more supply from a region that doesn’t have as much demand. Enter Weinviertel. Adjacent to these famed regions, Weinviertel is a large region, producing roughly half of the country’s Gruner Veltliner and more than double the Big Three combined. As you might expect of such a large region, the soils and microclimates vary greatly, along with the quality. Most is produced in the lower lying, flat, fertile and dry plains to the east and north of Vienna.
Gerhard Kracher makes all the Sohm & Kracher wines at his family winery in Illmitz, Burgenland. All the fruit for this wine is sourced from that village entirely as well. For me, it is the perfect combination of aromatic fruit, vibrant acidity and just the right amount of body – not too light… not too heavy… making Gruner equally at home on the front porch, the pool (or pond… or beach… or kiddie pool…) and the dinner table. It is wonderful with appetizers like fresh tomatoes and goat cheese, pairs wonderfully with fish of all shapes and sizes, but can still stand up to chicken off the grill. It is, in my house, my go-to white! And at just 12.5% alc., this is superbly quaffable!
