Tasting Notes

Color: Bright golden yellow with subtle green reflections.

Nose: Deep and concentrated. Ripe yellow stone fruit, fine herbs, white pepper, and hints of tobacco leaf mingle with warm minerality and delicate citrus tones.

Palate: Powerful, elegant, and tightly woven. The first impression shows ripe apricot and pear, followed by peppery spice, cool herbal notes, and a dense, salty-mineral core. The texture is firm yet silky, with remarkable balance and length.

Finish: Long, precise, and resonant. Minerality, spice, and gentle fruit sweetness linger with clarity and finesse.

Serving Suggestion

Best enjoyed slightly chilled at around 11–12°C. Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, veal, Asian-inspired dishes, or hearty vegetarian cuisine. A Grüner Veltliner with presence – one that stays with you long after the last glass.
