Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Pale 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.

The 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.

Had on Ben's birthday weekend in Paso (before dinner on Sunday). Light gold in color. Vibrant acidity and good minerality. Very good QPR.
