Aromatics of fresh green herbs, white pepper, spring peas and green melon introduce this wine. The palate is medium weight with good density for a Gruner Veltliner. Flavors of peach, grapefruit, pomelo, citrus, chalk, and minerality provide an array of tasty notes. The texture is quite round but with juicy acidity providing freshness. It ends with hints of tropical fruit and barrel influence.
From the Producer:
White pepper, flint, and grapefruit pith on the nose immediately signal this wine isn’t a light-bodied sipper, and on the midpalate it lives up to expectations. Generous fruit from the cold soaking, texture from the barrel fermentations, and weight from the lees stirring all combine to make for a Grüner that makes a serious mark.
