Barbara Öhlzelt Grüner 'Leader' 2022 – Kamptal. Austria
Reg $22 Soul Wine Price $18.70
Jason tasted this and said” I wish it was summer” so fresh and gulpable was this wine. It is so much more than most liters of Austrian Grüner.
Barbara Öhlzelt is turning the region’s paradigm completely on its head. Instead of the unctuous, powerful and masculine wines of the famous large estates, Barbara’s wines emphasize focus and a quiet, simmering intensity. They are fine, clearly delineated, precisely-etched renditions of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling with just as much depth and persistence as the big boys, but on a lighter, more refreshing frame. They really are like the wines of Weiser-Künstler but translated into the dialect of the Kamptal – loess, granite and sandstone, rather than slate. It should go without saying, but of course the wines are loaded with mouth-watering acidity and the alcohol levels are carefully restrained. Barbara is soft-spoken but intense; the wines are not unlike their shepherd. These are racy, delicate wines of purity and energy, and are exactly what the next chapter in the story of Austrian wine should be.
The Grüner Leader is a combination of all of Barbara’s Grüner vineyards with an average vine age of 30 years.
We offer wines, in all price ranges that are selected by a group of 4 passionate wine lovers. Whether it’s something from our everyday drinking section, a local specialty, a hard to find French or Italian or the best of the natural wine world we select them all with equal care.
In addition if you join our Wine Club or Soul Wine Society you receive 15% off our already competitive prices.

Owner Michael Teer has worked at Pike and Western since 1980, buying it in 1991. While still primarily a brick and mortar store our online presence is meant to not only enhance the business but give a sense of what the personality of the shop is. While wine is certainly Michael’s business it is also deeply integrated into his life.
