Winzer Krems Sandgrube 13
Sandgrube 13 Grüner Veltliner
Austria
My first Austrian wine, not bad. Quite refreshing. Tropical nose with notes of pear, mineral, fresh apple. Nice smooth and subtle burn for a finish.

Wine 1 of 4 of another world tour of wines purchased at Total Wine. The
Grüner Veltliner grape is by far the most widely grown grape in Austria. The variety is a bit unusual, as it is an offspring of Traminer and St. Georgen, the second parent being of local descent in Austria. The wines can run sweet to off-dry with flavor from stone fruit to citrus. Paired this one with a Mushroom-Swiss chard quiche and was not disappointed. Great price point! ~$14 | #totalwine #grunerveltliner #austrianwine
On the eyes: Starbright straw yellow, light stain, light legs. No floc - gas/effervescence observed.
On the nose: Unripe pear and green apple, lemon rind, vanilla, honey, and floral notes. Med- alcohol.
On the tongue: Light tannin, med+ acid, med- alcohol, effervescent with a nice round mouthfeel. Off-dry. Citrus poached pear/apple that finishes with an herbaceous mineralty. Med finish, med body.
