Am Berg 2020 Gruner Veltliner Mittelberg DAC
Ludwig follows the Burgundian hierarchy of region, village and cru. So what you have here is a calling card for the virtues of the “home town”. While the nose is unmistakably that of GV, there is a quality to these wines that evokes smoky tea, like Lapsang Souchong. Simultaneously snappy and mouth-filling, this wine delivers in spades.

Notes from the Producer: Mittelberg is the most northwestern village in the Kamptal. It is bordered on the west side by the Spießberggraben and the Sirnitzbach and on the east side by the Loisbach. The vineyards are situated on a plateau high above Langenlois at an altitude of 300 to 450 metres above sea level, the orientation ranges from east to south to west. The landscape is interspersed with gentle hills (so-called "Rieden").
