Wine Description

With an impulsive aroma, reminiscent of green bananas and citrus, this is classic Kremstal Grüner Veltliner, with both juicy fruit character and persistent minerality and spice.

Acclaim
RECOMMENDED -- 40 Fantastic Value Wines: “With a lineage of more than 550 years Stadt Krems claims, with some confidence, to be one of the oldest producers in Europe. This Grüner is ripe and slightly honeyed, with a golden fruit feel, and a finely crafted, weighty palate that’s serious, long and deep.”
— Decanter, Jan 2013
