Tasting notes

Deep yellow colour. The complex nose shows the typical hints of dark toasted bread that I find typical of aged grüner veltliner, but there is much fruit-notes here and also hints of spice. In the mouth this wine is off-dry with good concentration of quite crisp fruit, together with the more evolved notes. A bit rustic in style. The refreshing acids and low alcohol gives the wine a fine balance and good length. Great wine that has evolved very well and will last. Why not make more of these smaller eisweins?

Yellow colour. Complex and quite intense nose. Fresh and grape-typically spicy. Hints of bell peppers, some old woods and underlying tropical elements. Minerality. Fullbodied grüner in the mouth. Lots of fruit and concentration. Close to dry. Evolved fruit. Some typical herbacious bittneress and spice. Fresh and tropical elements from the eiswein-method. High and refreshing acids. Long taste. Full of life with still concentrated fruit and a fine structure with the typical "lifted" acidity of an eiswein. Great wine.
