Mount Edward Central Otago Grüner Veltliner 2018

Description

Apricot, Dry, Floral

The ultimate in food friendly wines, Grüner goes with just about anything and anyone. A fruit driven style of Grüner Veltliner with a lithe texture, medium weight in a dry style. Floral, white pepper, and pip-fruit aromas on the nose, similar fruit flavours including spice and pears come through on the palate, all underpinned by mineral characters and refreshing acidity. We aim to produce wines of purity, precision and balance with a clear resonance of flavour. This is a cellar release showing some secondary aged characters as well as the phenolic complexity often seen in fine Grüner Veltliners. 2018 was one of the hottest vintages Central Otago has seen in a decade, with warm night.
