Ludwig Hiedler Gruner Veltliner Thal Novemberlese 2005

Snoothrank: Starting at $21^.50

I had one bottle of this in my cellar. This was my first experience with aged Gruner Veltliner. Oh, what a treat this was! It was unctuous and full-bodied with a creamy texture. There were flavors of brown sugar, hints of honey, asparagus, and peach.

So refreshing! Slightly floral on the nose, with citrus and mineral notes. On the palate, pleasant bubbles, citrus, subtle white pepper, and mineral again.

Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner Hefeabzug 2008

Snoothrank:

What a delicious and thought-provoking wine. Aged in old oak and bottled right off the lees. The result is a wine with a lot of character and flavor. Soft, textured mouthfeel, with citrus notes and something reminiscent of pear. I'd love to try this again in a few more years, as the... Read more

Classified as Federspiel, this Gruner Veltliner is exceptionally concentrated. Medium-bodied, with citrus, stone fruits, mineral, and clean, zippy acidity.
