  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The wine is clear and rather coolish on the nose and displays a remarkably flinty and refreshing stony nose with mirabelle and apricot aromas. Lush and round on the palate, this is an intense and powerful, rich and concentrated Veltliner with a long and intense, somewhat sweetish finish.
