(Hiedler Grüner Veltliner Kittmannsberg "November") ($32.00) From the Kittmannsberg, on deep loess; it was originally given its name to denote an extra layer of ripeness by dint of very late picking, but in fact it’s become the neo-classical GV among a group of fleshpots. This shows a stronger more sinewy power, less creamy and more baked. More alcohol also. It’s really like tortillas, with sour cream and chilis and a chili-hot finish.
