Austrian and Spanish Wines on the Fino patio (Fino Restaurant, Austin, Texas): No food required here, this was quite viscous, had loads of acidity, soft minerality, and good balance. Quite pleasant, it had good notes of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon apple, apricot and peach nectar, and roasted nuts. On top of the minerality, it was soft and quite pleasant, a surprise to some who thought they understood how Gruner Veltliners taste…… quite Loire-ish here.

Full gold color. Intriguing aroma of slightly under ripe pineapple and minerals. Round and almost rich palate without a lot of cut. Evolves with air. Very good but not quite what I imagined. Drink soon, seems pretty evolved, although this was bought way after release and maybe more advanced than better stored bottles.
