Sepp Moser "Von de Terrassen" Kremstal Grüner Veltliner 2021

The Moser family has been involved with winemaking in Kremstal for seventeen generations. Viticulture in the region goes back over a thousand years, and there’s a record of a Moser ancestor managing the church vineyards in the 13th century. The Moser estate encompasses plantings in Kremstal and Neusiedlersee, two very different regions 160km apart. Their home vineyards in Kremstal are focused primarily on white grapes, grown on historic terraced vineyard sites. The plantings in Neusiedlersee are 80% red grapes, grown on flatter land near the Hungarian border, located within a national park, surrounded by diverse flora and fauna. The goal for the Moser wines is to “express their personality and regional character without make-up.” Of course this starts in the vineyard: the vines are Demeter-certified biodynamic, and Niki is in fact the head of Demeter Austria. Vineyard treatments are thoughtful rather than automatic: copper and sulfur sprays are only used at times of high fungal risk, and he’s incorporating more homeopathic remedies and herbal teas when possible.
