2016 Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben

Celery stalk, apple and lentil sprinkled with oregano and black pepper inform the nose and polished, ample palate of this classic Veltliner-on-loess performance. As usual, these old vines bring an ore-like sense of mineral depth into the wine’s seriously sustained finish that dovetails perfectly with the nutty-sweet earthiness of lentil and the incisive glow of black pepper. And like most 2016s, this doesn’t forget its fundamental duty to refresh.
