Burgenland Grüner Veltliner
Still a little spritz in the wine. But totale different from a few and young GV. Some of thee chardonnay aging is found here als well: light creamy butter. Less mineral and somewhat more ripe tropical fruits: pineapple and mango. Certainly a reason to let some bottles mature longer.

Feb 18th, 2019Hopler Grüner Veltliner 2017: tangelo, gold melon, bread-y lemon, ripe and dried white apricots, dried pineapple, ripe snow peas, a hint of rosemary and even fainter after-hint of white pepper. Really showcases the classic Grüner notes in an affordable package. Light citrus mouthfeel with tangerine-lemon, lemon zest, lime pith, and dolma around grapefruit.

Feb 17th, 2019Fuller body than I expected from a Grüner Veltliner! Lime zest, stone fruit, and something funky (petrol) on the nose. Wouldn't have guessed Veltliner if I was tasting blind. Great paired with spicy dishes.
