Oldest estate vineyards in Vino Verde. light, floral, crisp, nice fruit balance of stone vs orchard. Round palate. I like it. Not like cheap vinho verde that can be a one trick pony.

Even for ‘17 the fruit seems dailed back. Lively and zippy palate. Acid is elevated and lingering. Always good.

bramble and rustic. Mineral focused. Way more bitterness on the back end than Pommard and less fresh red fruit on palate.

Seems closed down, this is a pre buy so probably some shock to it. Fuller round mouth feel. Mid palate seems ok. Not a lot there with length nor complexity.

2016 Veyder-Malberg Grüner Veltliner Liebedich

Wachau more

8/25/2019 - Joe Kane wrote: NR

Blend of Bruck, Schon, Bushenberg, Hochrain and Kreutles vineyards. Absent on the bottle neck is his Handarbeit label which indicates hand farmed leads me to believe the flatter Kreutles vineyard has some tractor action.
Doesn't want ripeness level to indicate wine quality, thus absent from the vinea wachau.
The wine is pure damp rock minerality with a fresh rain quality. Low intensity on fruit, mainly tart yellow tree fruit, lemon and grapefruit citrus. Palate is dry, creamy, med acid, medium minus alcohol, in balance and med on complexity and finish. I think it's very good but I think it's worth spending extra for the top tiers.

2016 Weingut Knoll Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Loibenberg

Wachau more

8/25/2019 - Joe Kane wrote: NR

Knoll junior has been running the show for a few years now and is also the chairman of vinea Wachau. No signs of Botrytis which I hear is harder to come by in Loibenberg due to more influence of the Pannonian . Vintage is described as classic, and fresh for whites. The wine is faint, delicate, a faint whisper. Under ripe white peach and white grapefruit but more driven by radish, watercress and arugula. White flowers and honey suckle. Minerality for days. Structure is Med plus acid, round palate, moderate alcohol, balanced, lingering mid-palate. The wine goes on for days. Always one of favorite producers and frankly is kick ass!
