Pollerhof Leopold Gruner Veltliner 2024 1 Liter
This entry-level Grüner Veltliner from Weingut Der Pollerhof is a breath of fresh air, and we’re thrilled to have it back in the shop. It’s certified organic (bio) and comes from a variety of soils, primarily Loess over chalk and granite. The grapes are handpicked from their estate vineyards, and the quality is evident as soon as you take your first sip. A classic beauty, this wine is more profound than it seems at first glance. It’s beautifully balanced with notes of citrus, apple, green pear, and a hint of white pepper. Zesty acidity and spicy minerality with a saline finish keep this delightful wine refreshing without being spritzy.
Since 1660, the Poller family has been engaged in mixed agriculture, including viticulture, in the town of Röschitz, located in the western Weinviertel region, near the historic Austrian village of Retz. In 1920, Johann Poller, the grandfather of current winemaker Erwin Poller, shifted his focus exclusively to winemaking. He began by producing wine solely for his brothers’ wine houses in Vienna. The wine casks were transported by horse-drawn carriage to these popular wine houses, making a round-trip journey of 95 kilometers that took three days.
From a young age, Erwin was fascinated by every aspect of winemaking and found creative inspiration. He took over the winery in 1994 at just 24 years old. To expand his knowledge and experience, he visited and worked in the major wine regions of France, Italy, Germany, and the US. Since his takeover, the winery has grown exponentially, elevating its status and image to that of high quality.
