Schloss-Gobelsburg "Gobelsburger" Gruner Veltliner, Kamptal 2008

Straw.

Spicy/peppery citrus zest, earth/lentil, lemon/pear jelly. Vibrant, distinctive.

Zesty, intense, citrus entry also reveals ripe pear and earth flavors. Great driving acidity pummels the "glands". Seems to have a touch of residual sugar that takes the edge off and lengthens the finish. God this stuff is killer/fun to drink.


$17 at Feast. Tin-lined screwcap. Forget music and Schwarzenegger, Gruner Veltliner is Austria's greatest gift to mankind.
