Weingut Heinz Weixelbaum
Stephanus Grüner Veltliner

Pale gold with green inflections.
On the nose its white asparagus, pepper and chervil notes with faint yellow apple in the background.
The palate shows a sweet acidity (what?) and lingering finish that evokes vegetal flowers, like squash blossoms. This is a wonderful gruner veltliner that isn't entirely vegetal but just enough to make it a GV.

Very light, very crisp as expected. Subtle honey and melon on the nose, a pebble-like mineral taste on the finish. Good choice with veggies, salad, light fish with lemon, spicy food.
