Multi-purpose Nikolaihof Wachau Gruner Veltliner Im Weingebirge Smaragd 2019 Instant 65% Discount [l3RHnYqk]

Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge” dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving creamy texture.

One of the best Gruner Veltliners I have tasted over the years. Attractive and refreshing nose followed by a long and deep finish of ripe stone fruits and a hint of honeyed notes. No strong presence of oak yet smooth and elegant texture reflective of its contact with fine lees. Strongly recommended with moderately spiced cuisines and raw fish.  - Travis Oh, DipWSET
