Tasting notes

Yellow colour. Round and a little ripe on the nose. Spicey, mineral and grape-typical. With air the minerality gets more intense. Fullbodied and again quite ripe fruit in the mouth. Some fatness. Kind and round style with the alcohol noticeable on the finish. Spicey grüner veltliner-fruit. Apricot and minerality. Big, but the fruit shows a lot of interest and focus. The structure is kind with low acids. The finish shows too much the alcohol. This is a wine with a personality. The fruit is very nice, but the balance is a little off. So enjoy it for it’s very fine fruit.
