An Austrian “signature” grape. Nice structure, pale lemon color, crisp this Gruner Veltliner shows plenty of stone and citrus fruits with green herbs. On the palate flavors of lemon, peach and pepper with slight nuttiness, medium finish with lively acidity and very good balance. Drink now.

Mild citrus fruit, vegetal tones, slight minerality.

This Austrian wine’s nose features a strong floral element, quickly joined by a peach note which is not quite ripe. The expected minerals come next, with white pepper, lime and an herbal play following. The palate shows minerals in high definition with a tart fruit flavor in tow, possibly quince or apricot, either one a bit on the green side. I have tasted $15 wines that were better, but also ones which were much worse. A bit more ripeness would benefit this one, but it’s just fine as is for pairing with summer salads.

Lovely minerality, which is the perfect vibe after a day of mining tourmaline and visiting the bethel mineral and gem museum!!

Chalk, wet stone, lemon, pear, white pepper. The nose is quite complex for an entry level wine... The palate is well designed, rather wide an opulent, with a nice grip and peary and citrusy notes all along, before a nice finish with citrusy notes, some pear, that chalky mouuthfeel and it lasts for a nice while. We had it with gyoza enhanced with some spicy korean sauce (buldak X2) and it went super well. I like that a lot, especially against a hot sauce which packs a punch, but I'd love a stonger acid drive.
