Peter Veyder-Malberg is one the Wachau's low-key top-notch winemakers. He works quietly and diligently in his small cellar perched upon a picturesque slope in the town of Spitz.  Although his winemaking is considered 'hands-off,' every step of the winemaking process is given utmost attention to detail & it shows resulting in some of the region's most exquisite and mineral-driven expressions of Gruner & Riesling. 2021 was nothing short of an exceptional vintage, delivering wines of fine precision, intense mineral qualities, and impressive complexity. 

**“This Grüner Veltliner was sourced from various terraced vineyards, some with old vines: Bruck, Schön, Buschenberg, Hochrain and Loibenberg. The quantity from each plot is too small for individual bottlings, yet the quality is potentially superb from these predominantly primary rock (gneiss) sites. Starting with the vintage of 2014 also the grapes of the flat vineyard Kreutles in Unterloiben are part of this blend. Therefore Liebedich is from now on my, authentic Wachau Grüner Veltliner, representing the typical characteristics of the region and the vintage in a ‘drinking animating’ way. In some vineyards I manage the soil with a tractor and for that reason, I do not use my neck label “Handarbeit” which signifies a wine that is farmed completely by hand.”-Peter Veyder-Malberg
