Unreal. Closest to my favorite Nikolaihof Grüner Veltliners for its penetrating tension, polish, and sapid Grüner Veltliner liqueur. What a Grüner Veltliner must take like after you make it through the pearly gates.

Nice intensity, depth and richness on nose. Candied citrus and orchard fruit. Palate is structured, full and vibrant with medium + complexity. Broad with warm and long finish.

One of the better Wachau Gruner I've had, without a doubt. Complex, rich, elegant, herbal- everything Gruner should be. Lovely citrus aromas, intensely herbal flavors. There's a "brothiness" in texture, a certain kind of salinity, that I find very refreshing. At this price point I must say that it is more appealing to the GV devotees out there, but I say so reluctantly because it is a wine with great charm and wonderful fruit that I think most anyone can enjoy.
