This is a significant step up in the range with a very attractive weight of fruit combined with freshness of acidity, white pepper, white pears and minerality. As Jancis Robinson said of the 2010, 'always quite graceful rather than heavy'. L&S (Jun 2013)

Pea tendril, fresh green bean, cress, and lettuces lend the Solomon 2012 Gruner Veltliner Wachtberg an irresistible combination of primary juiciness and invigorating snap, while sweetly-saline and iodine-tinged suggestions of crustacean shell reduction serve for saliva-drawing savor in a long, mouth-coating finish. Add an eyebrow-raising dash of white pepper and you won’t be able to put the glass down! This terrific value projects a combination of density with energy and buoyancy that is all the more praiseworthy in the context of its vintage. Look for superb return engagements through at least 2020. Rating: 92 David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate (May 2014)

Salomon Undhof

Founded in 1792 SALOMON UNDHOF is a wine estate with a long tradition. The Salomon family from the Wachau produces white wines from the best terraced "Urgestein" sites along the Danube River in Stein and Krems. Today Bert and Gertrud Salomon run the winery. The famous Riesling of the estate thrives on the topsites of Kögl and Pfaffenberg. The Grüner Veltliner Von Stein comes from the steep terrassed hills behind the old town of Stein. The best "loess" soils provide the Lindberg and Wachtberg Grüner Veltliner. All the grapes are harvested traditionally by hand only. Their great vineyard locations and meticulous work in the vineyards are prerequisites for their elegant wines. Wines with finesse and perfect mineral balance reflect the very special micro climate of this lovely river valley. The Estate’s Grüner Veltliner and Riesling distinguish themselves through elegance and consistency.
