Pop and por Drunk over several hours.
Limpid golden in color. A stony nose with tarragon, green pea, grapefruit pith, and cooling herbal notes. On the palate, to steal a term from Jeremy, this is about geologic matter. Fresh, lithe and detailed. Texturally like something in between a Saar kabinett and a fresh styled Muscadet. Filigree fine and focused. Many would call the austere, but I love its detail and restraint. Focused yet mulitfaceted, but there are no sharp edges. Everything is really well balanced in context of the vintage. Lovely, graceful wine. At peak with time in hand, that said I can't really think of a reason other than academic ones to hold.

limpid golden in color with a fresh nose of stones, grapefruit pith, green pea, florals, and cooling green herbs. Light weighted and gossamer on the palate. To steal a term from Jeremy, a wine more about geologic matter than fruit. This has a lightness and weightlessness that I love. More stone, citrus pith, fresh pea, green apple, and tarragon on the palate delivered with filigree fine detail and bright acidity. It comes across as chiseled and stony for me, but some might call it austere. Texturally akin to an Egon Muller kabinett in a cooler year. Finishes with great cut and a mouthwateringly more-ish feel. Hedonists run away with great speed. Speaking for me, I'll have another glass right now. At peak with time in hand.

| Veyder-Malberg Producer websiteGrüner VeltlinerGrüner Veltliner, (or Gruener Veltliner when spelled without the Umlaut) is an indigenous white grape from Austria. Grüner Veltliner accounts for nearly 30% of the country's plantings making it the most widely grown grape in the country.
Grüner Veltliner is grown throughout the wine growing areas of Austria, but is most prominent in the area of Neiderösterrich (Lower Austria.) Grüner Veltliner is an ancient descendant of the white grape, Traminer, its other parent remains unknown.
Grüner Veltliner is a DAC classified wine in the wine growing areas of the Weinvertel DAC (District Appellation Control), Kremstal DAC, Kamptal DAC, Traisental DAC and Lethaiberg DAC. Other important growing areas include the areas of Wachau, Vienna, and Wagram despite the fact these regions are not currently recognized under the DAC system. Grüner Veltliner wines typically 12.5% abv, but can have more or less dependent on the region, the year and winemaker's personal style.
Grüner Veltliner is most commonly known as a bone-dry, highly acidic grape with distinct aromas and flavors of white pepper, green apple and citrus. While this is the typical flavor profile for young Grüner Veltliner wines, it is important to recognize that Grüner Veltliner is a very expressive grape and will show different dependent upon the region in which it is grown. For example, the Weinvertel will demonstrate high-acid, white pepper and green apple as noted, but a Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau is likely to show characteristics more typical of that of Riesling -richer, deeper fruit and a touch of stone; still other regions display different expressions that can include tropical notes, stone fruits, flint, smoke and more.
Though many Grüner Veltliner wines are made for immediate consumption, Grüner Veltliner can have incredible aging potential and can often be compared with white Burgundy, after all they are grown at roughly the same latitude. Grüner Veltliner made for aging will likely be slightly higher in alcohol and contain later-harvested grapes.
Although Grüner Veltliner is typically vinified dry, it may also be used on its own or as part of a cuvée to make sweeter styles such as Beerenauslese, Trokenbeeranauslese, Ruster Ausbruch (in the town of Rust only) or Eiswein.
Grüner Veltliner is an average-ripening grape and is typically harvested in October in Austria though weather conditions can force vine growers to harvest early.
Gruner Veltliner may be found in other areas of the world under the name of Weißgipfler, Grünmuskateller (AT), Veltlínské zelené (CZ), Zöld veltelini (HU), Veltlínske zelené (SK) or Zeleni veltlinec (SL).Austria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Wachau Official tourism website
