"A lovely alternative grape offering delicate aromas of grapefruit, lemon peel, nectarine and jasmine on the nose. The palate is juicy and vibrant with fine texture and linear mouthfeel, brilliantly structured by firm acidity. The wine is elegantly weighted and engaging, ideally suited to partner light seafood dishes" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2018
Pale gold in colour, the W5 Grüner Veltliner is silky with an oily texture, chalky phenolics and good length. It has delicate aromas of fennel flower, citrus zest and a hint of white pepper. Aromas follow through to the palate with flavours of ripe nashi pear and lime with hints of almond and spice.
Harvested from the Omaka Valley, the grapes were handpicked and whole bunch pressed. Free run juice from a press cut was fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and varietal characters. Other pressing components were fermented in seasoned oak to add complexity and roundness to the palate. After fermentation all components were blended and the wine was carefully finished and prepared for bottling.
Drinking beautifully now, the structure and complexity will continue to evolve in the bottle and will be at its best from now until at least four years from the date of vintage.
An exceptionally food friendly wine, this Gruner Veltliner will complement a wide range of dishes including spicy curry.
