Tasting notes

Straw colour. Nose shows flowers, citrus, apricot and stoney minerals. In the mouth this is a quite fullbodied GV, but not the richest smaragd. Good concentration. Mineral approach. Some citrus and apricot. Dry wine with fine acids and good length. Good and mineral GV.

Yellow colour. Lightly spicey, flowery and underripe grüner veltliner smaragd. Fine minerality on the nose. Lacking a little intensity. Fullbodied, fresh and lively in the mouth. Acidic for this grape. Slim style with a mineral approach. Some spice and lime-notes. Touch florality. Still on the young and tight side. Refreshing finish. Long and citrusy. Pretty and slightly more interesting than the Kellerberg.
