From the importer: Christina Wines is the passion project of Christina Netzl, a winemaker from Austria’s Carnuntum region (the Netzl family has lived and farmed in the very same village since 1650!) Growing up on her family’s farm, she fell in love with winemaking early on and later studied enology to deepen her understanding. Inspired by organic and natural wines worldwide, Christina transitioned her family’s vineyards to organic farming in 2013, earning official certification in 2021. Her wines, made with low-intervention methods, highlight the unique terroir of Carnuntum. With vibrant flavors and eye-catching labels celebrating vineyard biodiversity, Christina Wines has become a favorite for its drinkability and dedication to sustainable winemaking.

The vineyard which grows this Gruner Veltliner is one of the cooler places in the region, which benefit from the chilled winds of the nearby River Danube, especially during hot summers. This factor allows for the intensive aromatic and fizzy acidity in the grapes to be preserved. Specifically, the red gravel (iron) brings minerality and the typical “pepper” to the Grüner Veltliner.

Grapes are pressed as whole bunches. The juice is fermented spontaneously in stainless steel in a long, slow ferment thanks to the cold cellar temperatures.
