Loibner Frauenweingarten Federspiel Grüner Veltliner

Fresh, minerally, but just too hard to enjoy completely yet. Better after taste rather than the taste.

Bright and lean classic Gruner from great producer in a great year.

Sunchoke soup with a silver spoon.

Typical Gruner weirdness--flower musk, ripe pit fruit aromas, strong flavor of saffron complemented by grapefruit, overripe melon and white pepper. Definitely a special situations kind of wine.

Sometimes when you're making weird vegetables you need to go to the bullpen for some Gruner. Mineral and floral on the nose and the attack; white pepper, grapefruit, muskmelon, lychee and more flowers on the finish.
