A profound and seemingly ‘dark’ aroma of yellow fruits; ripe apples, melons, a bit of grapefruit and fresh herbs. Authoritative on the palate and full-bodied, with a prominent core of sweet fruit, luxuriant with a delicate hint of tobacco. Rounded but very fresh from the acid interplay.
90 Points Wine Advocate – For 50-year-old vines with gravel and loess soils, the 2018 Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben opens with a clear, fresh and slightly flinty bouquet that shows a nice spiciness and nuanced purity without being too demanding. Full-bodied, rich and powerful on the palate, this is a structured and slightly sweetish-tasting Veltliner with charm and grip and an intense and warm finish. 13% alcohol.
