Appearance: Bright
yellow.
Aroma:
Minerally citrus bouquet and subtle smokiness.
Palate: Medium-bodied
on the palate. Appearance of complexity. Crisp acidity and iodine. Pear and
citrus notes with mild spiciness.
Food friendly wine, this is. It is sure a good value
table wine that deserves stocking up. I love the crunchiness character of this
wine by Nikolaihof whilst subtlety and creaminess are still maintained. If
Gruner Veltliner is your kind of white wine, here is one for drinking during the
next 5 years.
