Wine Description

With a heady aroma, reminiscent of green bananas and citrus, this is classic Kremstal Grüner Veltliner, with both juicy fruit character and persistent minerality and spice.

Acclaim
“It offers exuberant green pears in a linear body, shaped slenderly by citrus zest. It resonates with ripeness, savory spice and mineral focus.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2014
“Precise aromas of fresh yellow apple, smoky flint and pepper. The elegant palate offers tropical mango and papaya notes nicely framed by vibrant acidity. Minerals linger nicely on the finish. With only 12.5% alcohol, this is a Grüner Veltliner that most consumers would enjoy drinking. It is also a good bargain.”
