Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 7, 2018 - Best Bottle Monday with Friends (Carlton, Zurich): Unmistakable Grüner Veltliner nose with loads of pineapple, very intense, clean and fresh. On the palate complemented by some grass aromas, hints of petrol, just a tad residual sweetness. Creamy and rich but enough acidity to keep the pleasure level high and preventing the wine from becoming to heaving and cloying. This gave room for the very precise and pure pineapple aroma to shine.

Probably the best Grüner Veltliner I encountered so far. Often the fruit seems canned and not that fresh, other times the sweetness might be overbearing. This bottle, however, had it all right. I deduct points as the complexity was rather low with a slight lack of minerality (and as Grüner Veltliner has just not my favorite aroma profile).
