  These were delicious but are long gone. Great QPR for $17 / bottle

  Lime and lemon base with plenty of white pepper and stoney minerals. Really refreshed the palate and went well when paired with an oily fish.

  Helles Strohgelb. Nichtssagende Nase, etwas Zitrusfrucht. Am Gaumen balanciert aber schwach, Apfel, Zitrus, etwas Pfeffer aber alles sehr zurückhaltend... Wäre ein korrekter Grüner Veltliner für einen Durchschnittsjahrgang aber für 2011 eine schwache Darstellung - bin enttäuscht!

  Color: Pale straw yellow.
  
  Nose: A bit shy. Some lemon-lime citrus fruit, and very mineral, with a steely, flinty edge. Very pure and crisp, and very slightly vegetal as well. Even the smell is refreshing. It does begin to open up some with air.
  
  Mouthfeel: Surprisingly full and plush. It's not fat, but it's got some richness.
  
  Palate: Wow. A whole different animal here. I can't remember the last time I had a wine that was so reserved on the nose but so expressive on the palate. The profile is as expected from the nose, but the volume is turned way up. Tons of fresh citrus and stone fruit, with juicy lemon, lime, and apricot flavors. Also very mineral, with a nicely bitter flinty/chalky undercurrent and nice tart acid to balance the fruit. The herbal/vegetal character is also there as a nice understated component, too. Long, sappy finish of citrus and stone.
  
  So intense and yet so refreshing at the same time. And with the texture, it's amazing that it's only 12% ABV. This is the kind of wine where you want to drink the whole bottle by yourself. Insanely good value.

  Junge, hell strohgelbe Farbe. Frisches Bouquet nach Äpfeln und Weingartenpfirsich, leichter Hauch nach weissem Pfeffer. Am Gaumen bestätigen sich die Aromen, etwas kurz...
