Laurenz V produces an elegant, captivating style of Grüner Veltliner, vinified for international appeal and appropriate for diverse cuisines. The wines display brisk acidity, concentration of flavour, subtile spice notes, voluptuous texture and vibrant minerality. They grow grapes in the Kamptal and sources grapes from trusted growers in the Kamptal and Kremstal regions of Lower Austria, where Grüner Veltliner reaches optimal ripeness while retaining its trademark vivacity.
Rich whites are full-bodied white wines that are perfect for red wine lovers because of their rich smooth taste with subtle creaminess. What makes them different than light white wines usually involves special winemaking techniques including the use of oak-aging, (just like aged whiskeys, wine becomes smoother with barrel aging too).
The classic choice for this wine is Chardonnay and particularly Chardonnay from a warmer climate (like California, Spain or Italy). Beside Chardonnay, another great option in this style is Viognier.
