8.9

Non vintage Gruner Veltliner. (Probably a blend of vintages.). Light golden color with some green highlights. Aromas and flavors of green orchard fruit, lychee, white flowers, green melon and white pepper spice. Long and lingering finish and crisp acidity. Excellent companion with food. Solid quality for the price. I would prefer a single vintage option but understand the circumstances. Enjoyed at the winery. — 21 hours ago
