  Med. gold in glass. Citric nose. Still very citric on palate perhaps a touch of GV white pepper at the end. Well made, but not very exciting.

  A classic grüner veltliner with the limited complexity you would expect from a Federspiel. This was the third and last bottle I drank and this one was the best, having aged a bit. It will probably improve over the next 2-3 years.

  First bottle in 15 months. Retains the citric notes on nose and palates of earlier bottles, but is missing the savory elements that characterized the bottles I drank in 2020. This is GV at the Sauvignon blancesque end of its scale. Still quite mineral. Will let my final bottle rest for at least one year.

  Very vegetal and herbal, both in bouquet and on palate. The description below of this being like water in which green leafy vegs have been cooked is apt. Citrus comes through a bit stronger on days 2 &3. Sour/bitter at the back (sorrel?), so best with food. Quite mineral. Good expression of the varietal and place.
