Birgit Eichinger, Ried Wechselberg Gruner Veltliner, Kamptal DAC

Pale straw yellow. This is a magical wine. Nose: beautiful banana peel, stone fruit, straw, pine needles, Meyer lemon. Palate: very smooth viscosity, weighty palate. Banana, peach, cantaloupe, pineapple. Vanilla bean. Honey. High tones of limestone. Graphite. Orange sherbet. Bright acidity. Finish: acidity carries the whole palate, and as it fades we get a bit of petrol and wet asphalt. Pear is quite strong as well. Birgit Eichinger, you've stolen my heart. Will you marry me?

didn't take notes but recall that I enjoyed the wine. Full mouthfeel and more complex taste than other Gruners I have had. worth going back to.

On the palate the wine opens with red apple and pear flavors lifted by hints of caramelized sugar. These extend and integrate with interesting mid-palate elements of white flowers and subtle rubber. The wine finishes excellent with tart lime and persistent saline minerality. It has fantastic weight and creamy texture, yet remains fresh and lively. The acid core is present throughout, …

Perfumed nose of stone fruit and slate. Completely driven by rocks and minerals, there was brisk citrus notes with a really enjoyable acidic spine. Great value.

"Non-Baller" Wines, Take 4 : the nose is intense white pepper and lemons. creamy body, zesty acid. lots of slate, grapefruit and white pepper. intense finish.
