Weingut Hiedler, a family-run estate in Langenlois since 1856, is renowned for its expressive and terroir-driven wines. The 'Ried Thal' Grüner Veltliner originates from the Thal vineyard, the estate's oldest and most traditional site, where vines have been cultivated since the 19th century.
-
WINEMAKER: Ludwig Hiedler Jr. and Dietmar Hiedler
-
FARMING: Practicing organic; sustainable viticulture with manual vineyard work
-
VARIETY: 100% Grüner Veltliner
-
TERROIR: The Thal single-vineyard is a gently sloping, terraced site in southern Langenlois, characterized by soils of quartz sand and bright, calcareous loess. Some vines are up to 80 years old, contributing to the wine's depth and complexity.
-
VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and lightly crushed, followed by a brief maceration. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts.
-
AGING: The wine matures on fine lees for several months in stainless steel, enhancing texture and complexity. Bottling takes place under high atmospheric pressure during the waxing moon to preserve freshness.
-
TASTING NOTES: Bright, chalky minerality on the nose, accompanied by white flowers, green mangoes, delicate apple, and lentils, with a cool, spicy note of lemon thyme. On the palate, citrus fruits and pome fruits intermingled with yellow fruits, grippy and mineral, a hint of finely ground white pepper, and plenty of umami in the long finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with roasted poultry, grilled seafood, or dishes featuring fresh herbs and light spices.

-
James Suckling: 92 – "A bright and fruity Grüner Veltliner that has notes of lemons, peaches, and sliced pears. It's medium-bodied, crisp, and pure, with persistent stone fruit notes in a long finish."
