Salzl Seewinkelhof Figaro Grüner Veltliner 2022

75cl bottle.

Vegan.

We took a our first trip to Austria in 2025 and Salzl was the highlight. Out of the 30 or so wines tasted we struck gold twice. This was the best wine- pure gold and the highlight of the trip. This was a serious tasting, through the bumpy vineyards in the back of a trailer pulled by a tractor, with an Austrian hat and a Polish lady. Very Nais!

Intense, bright straw yellow with green reflections. Pleasant herbal spice on the nose with ripe stone fruit, some fresh green apples, a hint of grapefruit and lime, subtle notes of elder, black and red pepper. The ripe fruit spreads beautifully on the palate, underlaid with plenty of herbal aromas and fine floral hints in the background, reminiscent of baked apple, great extra sweetness, fresh salty minerality, dense, creamy and very balanced, wonderfully integrated roasted aromas, remains wonderfully long on the palate. A versatile food companion that is fun from the very first sip and makes you want the next glass!

Illmitz is not only the home town of the Salzls, their vines also grow here in between the national park Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel – a world heritage region. It is an obligation for Christoph Salzl, a mission and an honor at the same time, not only to live in this region, but to wholeheartedly appreciate and protect this privilege. Three generations of Salzls work with a lot of experience, heart
and soul to vinificate great wines with passion.
