Martin Muthenthaler
Martin Muthenthaler, terraced Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, Wachau
Martin Muthenthaler is a wine producer in Spitzer Graben, Wachau, Austria. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Martin Muthenthaler wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Martin Muthenthaler farms steep terraced vineyards in the Spitzer Graben, a side valley of the Wachau carved into granite and gneiss above the Danube. The terraces are ancient, some predate written records of the region. The farming is by hand, it has to be, on slopes this steep. No herbicides, no pesticides, no shortcuts.
Wines
The Riesling Bruck has a crystalline precision shaped by the steep slope and the Danube's moderating influence. The Grüner Veltliner Oberarnsdorf runs textured and savory. The Rosé vom Gneiss, from Zweigelt, is pressed rather than macerated, mineral and dry. These are wines defined by the terraces they come from.
