Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift)
Valle Isarco Grüner Veltliner
Medium bodied and aromatic with lots of spiced pear and stern acidity. Paired with broccolini and fried garlic chips, red pepper flakes, and charred lemon. Founded in the 12th century by the Augustinian Order of Canons Regular. Organically farmed by Monks. The Dolomites hold a very special place in my heart.

Jun 3rd, 2024Pale lemon with aromas of white flesh fruits, spice and herb notes. On the palate flavors of white peach, apple and lemon citrus with spice and smoky earthy tones. Well balanced, medium finish ending with lemon zest, wet stone and slight pepper spice notes. Nice value.

Nov 8th, 2022The 2020 Grüner Veltliner is coy in the glass, as dusty florals and hints of lemon-tinged peach wafts up from the glass. This is soft with a salty flourish up front and finessed. Its fruit leans toward the green apple spectrum. Pretty tropical florals appear toward the close, finishing crisp and fresh with a caking of minerality. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2022)

Cheap and cheerful.... more textural than expressing mineral purity.
