Notes from The Source Imports:
"The rebellious and independently spirited Peter Veyder-Malberg works his vineyards organically, and mostly out of sight of the Danube in the Wachau’s coldest section, the Spitzer Graben, while others are scattered throughout the rest of the region. Rieslings are predominantly grown on gneiss and mica schist up on the steep, vertigo-inducing terraces, and Grüner Veltliners on the lower slopes largely influenced by loess."
About the cuvee:
"'This Grüner Veltliner was sourced from various terraced vineyards, some with old vines: Bruck, Schön, Buschenberg, Hochrain and Loibenberg. The quantity from each plot is too small for individual bottlings, yet the quality is potentially superb from these predominantly primary rock (gneiss) sites. Starting with the vintage of 2014 also the grapes of the flat vineyard Kreutles in Unterloiben are part of this blend. Therefore Liebedich is from now on my, authentic Wachau Grüner Veltliner, representing the typical characteristics of the region and the vintage in a ‘drinking animating’ way. In some vineyards I manage the soil with a tractor and for that reason, I do not use my neck label “Handarbeit” which signifies a wine that is farmed completely by hand.'
