Classic and thoroughly delicious Smaragd Gruner-Veltliner. Snap pea, honeysuckle, pineapple core, celery, watercress. Super complex and with a long life ahead.

Лучше декантировать. Трава, арахис, карамель, ревень, клевер, черный перец, цидония. Спиртуозно и минерально. Достаточно сурово, серьезно и солидно, но по мне слишком жарко.

I had a eureka moment with white pepper (rotundone) on this! Expressive nose of underripe white peach, subtle herbaceousness (not pyrazines). Mid-weight, with a certain richness on the palate- it could be Pinot Gris from Alsace but for the bone-dryness and the searing high acid. Rippling with energy and infused with sunshine.

Exciting nose of smoke, lean and mean stone fruits, and white mushroom. Slightly lighter than the Loibenberg. Acidic verve on the palate.
