Domäne Wachau Gruner Veltliner SELECTION 2021

This is an awakening wine for many, certainly for me it was the wine that got me into Gruner and Austria. Since trying it first about 10 years ago, it has offered up quite ludicrous bang for buck. A bracing, complex dry white from Domane Wachau, one of Austria's top producers of Gruner Veltliner. The Terrassen wines are blends of their top single vineyard sites, perched high above the Danube River - a truly spectacular winery setting. Bone dry, with bell pepper and spice flavours, and some riper fruits on the lively palate. The finish is long, sinewy and comes with a nice phenolic edge. STSWine
