Ludwigshöher Teufelskopf Grüner Veltliner Beerenauslese - Weingut Manz

Ludwigshöher Teufelskopf Grüner Veltliner Beerenauslese - Weingut Manz presents itself in a radiant golden yellow with shiny reflections that immediately catch the eye. This Beerenauslese seduces with a complex bouquet of intense aromas of ripe mirabelles, sun-ripened apricots and a hint of candied citrus fruit. In addition, there are finely integrated nuances of honey, southern mango and noble vanilla, which perfectly round off the aromatic overall picture.

On the palate, this wine is opulent and velvety, yet always elegant and delicate. The natural sweetness blends harmoniously with a lively acidity that creates freshness and tension. In terms of flavor, juicy peaches, yellow apple and a hint of exotic pineapple dominate, accompanied by a subtle interplay of spices with white pepper and fresh ginger. The long, smooth finish leaves a surprisingly mineral aftertaste that impressively reflects the wine’s origin.

Vinification of Ludwigshöher Teufelskopf Grüner Veltliner Beerenauslese from Weingut Manz

The grapes for this exceptional Beerenauslese come from carefully selected sites around the Ludwigshöher Teufelskopf. The climate and soil conditions are ideal for Grüner Veltliner, as calcareous clay soils with high mineral content provide excellent starting quality. The vines grow on steep south-facing slopes that guarantee optimal sun exposure for the berries.

Harvesting is done by hand in several selective passes. Only the noblest berries, which have developed their special aromatic diversity through late botrytis infection, make it into the harvest basket. This painstaking selection secures the unique character of the Beerenauslese and enhances its complexity.

Vinification takes place in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank, where the must is gently fermented. Due to the high sugar content, fermentation takes longer and is precisely monitored in order to preserve the typical fruit aromas and maintain the sweet balance.

Maturation takes place several times under controlled conditions, resulting in an appealing residual sweetness that harmoniously combines with the characteristic spiciness of Grüner Veltliner. This combination gives the wine its long aging potential and its finely structured mouthfeel.
