2026-06-24T22:00:00+00:00 2026-06-24T22:00:00+00:00 https://www.neunweine.ch/en-CH/hagn-winery/42-free-gruener-veltliner-goldblatt-2025 The Weinviertel region and Grüner Veltliner are a perfect match. The Goldblatt GV 2025 is a new exclusive bottling from the renowned Hagn winery in Mailberg, a white wine that is almost always a good choice and a true pleasure. The grapes come from various vineyards with loess soils around the village of Mailberg. Traditionally matured in stainless steel tanks, it is not overly full-bodied, with an alcohol content of just 12.0% by volume and a particularly well-balanced interplay of fruit, spice and acidity. The colour is a clear, bright gold. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe apples, exotic fruits and a subtle hint of herbs. On the palate, it is juicy and harmonious, with pronounced fruit notes of light stone fruit and white pepper. A delicate fruit sweetness is balanced by a pleasant acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy. Lively, yet unmistakably Veltliner. The finish is medium in length, with spice and refreshing citrus notes. A true all-rounder. Ideal for a relaxed gathering, as an accompaniment to home-cooked meals or simply on its own. The Goldblatt is always a reliable choice.

However, anyone who tastes this wine may question why. It is a wonderfully authentic Rhône red with plenty of charm and notably good value for money. This vintage is generous and driven by fruit. Ripe red and dark berries dominate the bouquet, complemented by delicate Mediterranean herbs and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is pleasantly full-bodied without becoming heavy. Silky tannins provide a harmonious structure and make each sip highly approachable. The vineyards of Château Saint Roch lie on the slopes to the west of the Roquemaure fault. Sheltered by the hills of Saint-Géniès and influenced by the nearby River Rhône, the grapes retain both ripeness and freshness. After vinification, the wine is aged for twelve months in tanks and wooden barrels. This Lirac pairs particularly well with stuffed tomatoes with lamb, braised poultry, or hearty Mediterranean dishes. It is already a pleasure to drink now and will continue to develop beautifully in the bottle over the next five to six years.

DOCG is the highest classification here, originating from a hilly region with limestone soils. A highly versatile and appealing Superiore Prosecco that impressed us immediately.

Alongside the familiar aromas of yellow fruit, generous notes of red berries, led by an appealing strawberry scent, make it hard to wait for the first sip. These expressive fruit aromas are the result of the special production method used for this Prosecco. The must is rapidly chilled to 0 °C, and fermentation takes place at 15 °C. This helps preserve the typical grape aromas, which are clearly reflected in the wine. It offers a fine, elegant effervescence, with notes of grapes and red berries, complemented by a fresh and well-balanced acidity.

On the nose, light peaches, gooseberries and floral notes. On the palate, it is completely dry, with deep fruit aromas paired with a fine acidity. Juicy, with bite and texture.

This characterful white wine is now developing to its full splendour. Aromas of ripe yellow pears and apples unfold, along with a hint of fresh grapefruit and caramelised honey.

The wine is just coming into its own and is ready to be enjoyed. During the tasting in the cellar, we were delighted by its characteristic sour cherry aromas and its easy-drinking character. It glides juicily across the palate, revealing a slightly toasty note with an ethereal spiciness. It comes across as elegant without being ostentatious and really grabs you when you drink it. However, it can certainly be cellared for up to 10 years. It pairs well with beef and duck, but also with autumnal dishes such as braised pumpkin or grilled vegetables. Perfect for any time of year, though, and whenever you fancy a classic, honest wine with class.

The principle behind it is simple yet ingenious: young Valpolicella undergoes a second fermentation on Amarone pomace. This gives the wine greater colour, structure and character, while preserving the lightness of a classic red. This is exactly what makes La Giaretta's wine so popular year after year. The 2022 vintage shows a brilliant ruby red colour and, on the nose, already delivers everything one could wish for in a successful Ripasso. Dark cherries, ripe wild berries and a hint of raisins combine with subtle notes of herbs, coffee and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, this Ripasso is juicy and well-balanced. Dark fruit takes centre stage, supported by gentle spice and a lively acidity that carries the wine and makes it very easy to enjoy. The typical Amarone notes are present, yet remain elegantly integrated, adding further depth. For anyone wishing to discover the region's famous red wines, this is an ideal starting point. Ripasso is a familiar presence in the region’s osterias. It offers the characteristic aromas of Amarone while remaining more approachable and less complex. This classic pairs particularly well with grilled steaks, braised beef or a hearty pasta dish with ragù. A wine that offers excellent value for money.
