James Suckling
A very crisp and expressive gruner veltliner for 2020 with tons of herbal, snow-pea and chick-pea character, plus a twist of green pepper. Excellent depth and length for just 12% alcohol and properly dry, too! From organically grown grapes.
Fun to say and delightfully easy to drink, Grüner Veltliner calls Austria its homeland. While some easily quaffable Grüners come in a one-liter—a convenient size—many high caliber single vineyard bottlings can benefit from cellar aging. Somm Secret—About 75% of the world’s Grüner Veltliner comes from Austria but the variety is gaining ground in other countries, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States.
Bordering Kremstal to its south, the Austrian region of Traisental is a fantastic source of fresh and fruity Gruner Veltliner.
