This outstanding Gruner Veltiner from Nikolaihof opens up with elegant aromas of pear tart, wet rocks, lemon, fresh cut green grass, spring flowers, saline, dried pineapple and hints of smoke. It has zippy acidity with a creamy smooth finish. It can be approached now if allowed air contact, but this is an age worthy Gruner that will demand at least few years in the cellar.
