Nikolaihof-Steinterrassen Grüner Veltliner (2012)

Wachau, Austria 

Varietal(s): 100% Gruner Veltliner

Lovely smokiness gives this wine a most youthful swing on the nose. The palate is vivid with freshness and youthful verve. The palate is vibrant with white pepper that pervades lemony Mirabelle flesh—slender and bright. What enduring freshness. What lovely acidity. What a wine. With lightness, freshness, acidity, vivacity and spice, it is a force of life, with a sheer, endless echo of lemon."
