The 2023 Rockwerk Gruner Veltliner Austria was a Merchant's Pick
TWO Legends, ONE Outstanding Gruner Veltliner!
July 18, 2024
What do you get when you mix Austrian winemaker of the year Markus Huber and Master Sommelier Jesse Becker?
You get an incredible Gruner Veltliner experience!
For decades Jesse Becker has worked as a Sommelier in some of the best wineries and restaurants in the world. He has had his hands in nearly every facet of the wine industry and is passionate about German and Austrian wines.
After sampling hundreds of Gruners, he decided to take matters into his own hands and created Rockwerk!
Sassy and sensational! Made by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, it reveals flavors of vineyard peach, savory herbs, and the essence of stone. No oak. Easy to drink. A solid wine from start to finish.
Winemaker Of The Year Gets Tapped
To make a great wine, Jesse Becker knew he had to hire the best winemaker in Austria, who happens to be 5th generation winemaker Markus Huber, a living legend.
Markus was recently awarded Winemaker Of The Year. You can be sure the hands making Rockwerk know exactly how to craft incredible Gruner.
You can't argue with the results. This Gruner is packed full of character; it's lively and extremely versatile.
Classic pairings include shellfish, oysters, poultry, arugula salads, goat cheese, and Asian or Thai cuisine.
Enjoy!
