Laurenz V.

With only 1% of the world wine production AUSTRIA is one of the smallest wine growing countries in Europe. Over all there are around 100,000 acres of vineyards in Austria with an obvious focus on white grape varieties (65%). LAURENZ V. has its home in the KAMPTAL region – famous for its beautiful landscape, the distinctive terroir, as well as for magnificent wines. According to the Austrian wine law, the appellation “Kamptal DAC” stands for wines only made of Grüner Veltliner or Riesling – either in a classic fruity style (Kamptal DAC) or in a richer, more full-bodied style (Kamptal Reserve). GRÜNER VELTLINER is the country’s flagship grape variety. Just imagine the floral scent of a Riesling, the refreshing zip of a Sauvignon Blanc combined with the lusciousness of a Pinot Grigio – all in great harmony – that’s what Grüner Veltliner tastes like. LAURENZ V. is the first and presumably only producer in Austria and the world to focus entirely on Grüner Veltliner. The company was founded in 2004 and now exports to 45 countries in all five continents. 5 GENERATIONS of the prestigious Laurenz Moser family stand behind the name LAURENZ V. (speak: Laurenz Five). To the day, LAURENZ V. takes inspiration from Dr. Moser III, who is known as “Grandpa Grüner”, in part for his invention of the innovative vine trellising system in the early 1930s with Grüner as the ideal white grape variety. The MISSION of LAURENZ V. is to play a leading role in establishing Austria’s signature grape - Grüner Veltliner - amongst the premium white wines of the world.
