A Grüner Veltliner, pure and elegant. Lean, straightforward, juicy, racy acidity. Salty, smoky, flattering. Initially, the wine is austere on the palate but gradually evolves into an tangy acidity with fresh, vibrant fruit. Lime zest, lemon grass, wet stone. Mouth feeling combines subtle saltiness with a hint of smokiness.
