Am Berg Grüner Veltliner
Acidity - balanced. Lightness yet depth. Can imagine drinking this in summer with raw clams, and winter with a spicy pumpkin soup. Delicious

Apr 7th, 2017Has some weight but linear and precise. Citrusy, lemony zest, but a stony undercurrent. Great acidity. Really good ish.

Oct 10th, 2016Without a doubt the best Grüner I've had up to this point. Delightfully fleshy with a bit of weight yet so lean and precise, with such purity of fruit. Love when skilled winemakers can craft that juxtaposition with white wine. It's the same textural thing that I love about a lot of good Alsace Riesling. Lovely concentration of aromatics and flavor. Grapefruit and lemon pith, slightly underripe nectarine, and cantaloupe fruit character, underscored by white pepper, fresh sorrel, wet river stone, and fresh spring snap peas; all delivered with a veritable lightning beam of acidity. Incredible freshness. Would love to throw a couple of these in the wine fridge and forget about them for a few years and see how they develop.

Aug 6th, 2016Corn silk clear. Smells like green almonds and a bit of cloves. Tastes of salt, lemon, rocks and bitter melon. Has a medium finish with the residual acid coming thy but nothing overpowering.
