2019 Moric Serious Wine From A Gorgeous Place
Moric
The defiant label almost says it all - spells it out in black and white, in fact. A little disagreement between Moric maverick Roland Velich and Austrian wine officialdom over typicity at play here. What the label doesn't quite say is that the wine is as gorgeous as it is serious. Perhaps it was the fact you could close your eyes and picture yourself in Chablis, sampling its most treasured fruits, that put the lawmakers offside. This is the wine labelled in previous years as Sankt Georgen, grown on a limestone parcel near the village of Eisenstadt in the southern portion of the Leitha Mountains.

Very flinty, deep and subtle with stunning concentration on the palate. Complex candied-lemon, dried-herb and chamomile aromas. What a long, complex and silky finish. Only just beginning to open up. Drink or hold.

Tasted a month after the bottling in June 2020, the 2019 Serious Wine from a Gorgeous Place still has the chance to be proven as Burgenland Grüner Veltliner Quality Wine from St Georgen. The wine opens pure, fresh and seriously mineral on the bright, fresh and (flint-) stony, seriously complex nose with its mix of herbs, stones and yeast notes. On the palate, this is a dense, complex, juicy and sustainable white whose fine tannins, salts and mineral acidity are perfectly interwoven and lead to a tensioned and enormously long finish. Lime zest, grapefruit bitters and yeasty notes appear on the aftertaste. Moderate alcohol.
