Black Ankle Vineyards
Quartzite Grüner Veltliner Blend
Maryland, USA
Third white from Black Ankle. Pale golden yellow. Tropical attack on the nose, more pungent than the Viognier. Also some undertones of wet grass. Stone fruit and wet stones/rocks on the palate. High acidity (8/10) and light bodied, fuller in the attack than the finish. A little minty too in the moderate finish. Definitely needs some time to mellow out. Drink 2017 till 2022.

A round and fruit-filled nose with notes of peach, melon, pear and a touch of green apple. The palate is ripe and rich with big, bright acidity. Slightly creamy flavors of melon and pear lead to a touch of stone and herbal notes along with a touch of green pepper. The finish is fairly long with continued bright acidity along with a lingering touch of oak.

Mineral some acid lingering finish. Some in distinct fruit. Ok but not worth the money.
