  Fun, easy-drinking GV. Medium nose of white pepper and minerality, which really overshadowed any fruit. Savory palate, which matches the nose, but here you can get a better bead on the fruit, which is still in the background: peaches, citrus zest. Slightly round mouthfeel. Mild finish. *Malat has been producing wines since 1722 - now run by 10th generation winemaker, Michael Malat. *Crazy Creatures is Malat's entry-level brand; their Gruner Veltliner from estate-owned fruit.

  A: Pale lemon
  N: Pronounced nose of ripe peach, radish, arugula, green apple, pear, white pepper
  P: Dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium (+) intensity, phenolic bitterness, medium (+) body, medium (+) length.
  C: Lovely balance of ripe fruit and acid, good length and intensity but not at all complex. Its tree fruit and veggies with a stone fruit upfront.
  Typicity is great
  
  Very Good Quality. I would need more length and complexity to increase the quality call.
  
  I really like this. Not overly vegetal. Lovely.

  The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit, apricot and pineapple. It tastes like grapefruit, honeydew, mango and pineapple. The body is light/medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

  si vous aimez l'appellation grüner vous allez aimer ce produit. nez légèrement sur la fleur blanche, robe dorée pâle, belle typicité sur le roc mouillé, belle acidité qui lui donne une bonne longueur en bouche, finale sur le fruit blanc mais léger et agréable. excellent rapport qualité-prix.
