Pollerhof 2022 Gruner Veltliner Hühnergarten

100% Grüner Veltliner 

Weinviertel, Austria

Erwin Poller discovered that a local industrial chicken farm disposes of chickens of a certain, less productive age by gassing them. Appalled Erwin hatched a plan to give some chickens a second life in his vineyards: a built a portable chicken cube that allowed him to change the area of increased fertilization by way of chicken poop and deployed it in a vineyard that was to become known as the Huhnerweingarten (Chicken VIneyard). Here an even mix of granite and loess allow for a best of both scenario, with elegance and definition from the granite's influence and fruit and body from the more fertile layer of loess.
