A bit sweeter than expected. Lots of tropical fruit and warm spices. Soft and very open, perhaps too much so. Lacked the acidity to keep it all in check. A bit flabby for my own liking. Had with a wide variety of tapas, sadly a bit disappointing.

Surprisingly youthful for a 5 y.o. Grüner.. Straw yellow in colour with a greenish tinge. Citrus and passionfruit dominate the nose and the palate with a nice oily mouhfeel and a pleasant acid finish. A nice summer accompaniment to some poached salmon.

An excellent Grüner Veltliner. Color: very bright green. Nose: impressive of citrus and melon. mineral aspects. Taste: a beautiful and pure fruit, citrus. Some exotic fruits. Very intense. All backed by a lively but well integrated acidity. A hint of minerality. A surprisingly long finish with a slight mettalic component. A great food wine. Very appealing but international style. A crowd pleaser. - 89P
