The 2022 Veyder-Malberg Wachauer LIEBEDICH Grüner Veltliner is a beautifully precise expression of Wachau from one of Austria’s most acclaimed artisanal producers. Crafted by Peter Veyder-Malberg from organically farmed, terraced vineyards with old vines on primary rock soils, LIEBEDICH is a blend of fruit from several outstanding sites across the Wachau. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on fine lees, it captures the freshness, minerality and purity that define the estate’s elegant, low-intervention style.
The nose reveals aromas of lime, green apple and ripe pear layered with white pepper, fresh herbs and crushed stone. The palate is vibrant and beautifully textured, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit supported by lively acidity and a distinctive saline mineral backbone. Focused yet approachable, it finishes long and refreshing with remarkable precision, energy and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Wachau Grüner Veltliner that perfectly balances freshness, texture and terroir expression. Its vibrant acidity and mineral drive make it an excellent match for schnitzel, grilled fish, sushi, shellfish, roast chicken and fresh goat’s cheese. Enjoy now through 2032 while its purity, precision and subtle complexity continue to evolve.
