POINTS
“Subtle aromas of yellow apple, acacia blossom and white pepper. Crisp and racy on the palate, with flavors of Japanese pear and grapefruit zest carrying through to the stony finish of this nicely balanced Grüner Veltliner. Seems to be putting on weight with age; today there is also a touch of caramel on the aftertaste”
