Complex, round and rich, with hints of mandarin.
Beautiful buquet of orange, blanched almond, lanolin and white pepper.
An exceptionally food friendly wine, but we recommend trying with Vietnamese-style prawns and hearts of palm with green tea-noodle salad.

Description
A pale gold in colour with aromas of orange, blanched almond, lanolin and white pepper in the bouquet. The palate is complex, round and rich, with hints of mandarin, stone fruit and spice.
Grapes were sourced from a relatively warm vineyard site with early budburst which allows for a long ripening period into late autumn. This increased hang time increases the intensity and ripeness of the Grüner Veltliner characters. The clay-rich vigour moderating soils assist in balancing the crop load of this high bunch weight variety. The grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. A press cut was made early to minimise skin contact. The free run juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast. Pressing components were fermented in old oak and retained on lees post ferment to add complexity and roundness to the palate. Free run and selected pressing components were blended post ferment, carefully finished and prepared for bottle. Whilst drinking beautifully now, the structure and complexity will continue to evolve in bottle over the next four years.
Food Pairing: An exceptionally food friendly wine, this Grüner Veltliner will complement a wide range of dishes, including spicy curry.

Amazing to see this wine at this price. We've previously bought the Echo Gruner and this is a serious step up in quality for a little additional expense. Outstanding value for money
