  Pajizo con destellos verdosos. La nariz es de media intensidad pero tiene notable precisión, con toques de fruta tropical, algún matiz cítrico, recuerdos a manzana verde y algún apunte mineral. En boca tiene buen ataque, parece magro pero tiene una amplia expresión frutal combinada con sensaciones minerales, muy buena acidez, buenos amargos y notable longitud. Notable tensión en boca. Excelente y con mucha vida por delante.

  From one of the great producers in Austria. The Pellingen vineyard is terraced and steep (35°). 250-315 meters above the valley floor, S/SW orientation.
  
  Erste Lage = 1Er Cru vineyard.
  
  Color: Lt-med straw.
  
  Nose: Intense, perfumey Grüner nose of herbal, lemon-lime ricola hard candy. Deep wet mineral pool of herbs* and lemon lime fruit. *Like an herbal/floral garden.
  
  Pal: In the mouth, this Nigl GV immediately strikes you with its intensity. Mouth filling intense flavors with bracing acidity. Delicious! Totally dry. 13% alc.
  
  Fantastic trocken single-vineyard Grüner.
  
  Drink through 2026. In its youth for freshness. With age for more richness and complexity.
