Maria Hick 2024 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel, Ried Stiegelstal "Rupertiwein"
This is textbook GV Federspiel – glassy, delicate, dry and markedly mineral, as Maria’s wines are wont to be. Attention need not be drawn to its bargain price. The name alludes to Rupertus, Bishop of Salzburg, and patron of Arnsdorf’s church.
