Description
"Grüner veltliner is gaining traction and this excellent example offers brilliant value. Elegantly lifted aromas of stone fruit, apple and almond lead to a richly textured and weighted palate that's silky and refreshing. It's beautifully rounded and lingering. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2014.
Pale gold colour the W5 Grüner Veltliner is a textural wine with clean acidity and a refreshing finish. It has delicate aromas of citrus blossom, peach and mango with a hint of spice. Aromas follow through to the palate with flavours of white stone-fruit and citrus sorbet and a hint of white pepper.
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.
Perfect for drinking immediately, this wines structure and viscosity will continue to develop in the bottle and will be at its best from now until at least four years from the date of vintage.
The W5 range produced especially for blackmarket.co.nz members by one of NZ's premium award winning wineries embodies the philosophy of blackmarket's unique business model. "Quality wine, exclusively priced, direct from the winery"

First time for this variety. Not quite to my palate but the wine is pretty good. No regrets buying a box.
