The 2023 Große Werk from Grabenwerkstatt is the stylistic pinnacle of the winery – a wine that impressively condenses the unique character of the Spitzer Graben. The grapes are sourced from the oldest, steepest, and most mineral-rich plots, whose barren, stony soils and extreme slope inclination result in the lowest yields but the highest precision.
The 2023 vintage is among the most balanced of recent years in the Spitzer Graben: cool nights, a long growing season, and perfect physiological ripeness. The result is a wine that does not just show its origin, but celebrates it.
On the nose, the 2023 Große Werk combines yellow stone fruit, ripe citrus, fine herbs, wet stones, and a precise, austere mineral note. On the palate, the wine is tight, deep, salty, and energetic, while being both powerful and crystal clear. The acidity structure is precisely defined and carries the wine into a long, vibrant finish that impressively underscores the typical style of Grabenwerkstatt.
A statement of site and variety that delights collectors and connoisseurs of the Wachau alike. The 2023 Große Werk is undoubtedly among the most exciting wines currently being produced in the Spitzer Graben.
