Domane Wachau "Terrassen" Gruner Veltliner, Federspiel 2006

Straw.

Vibrant fruit-filled nose. Ripe, fleshy lemon with a hint of zest. Just the barest hint of pepper/lentil.
Can't remember ever having a federspiel so fruit-based.

Round and fairly plush (there has to be decent RS here). Great citrus zest acidity keeps it vibrant and chewy in the mouth. Not complex, but, man, this is delicious action. Can't wait for a hot day in the vineyard.

I believe Feders are 12.5% alcohol or lower.
