Complete description
Vintage Description:
The 2018 GV Bodenstein is incredibly clear, fine, fresh and pure on the flinty and delicately fruity nose that is so coolish and fine in its notes of crushed crystalline gneiss rocks and delivers fascinating precision, finesse and mineral freshness! On the palate, this is a rich and juicy, very fine and elegant but also crystalline Veltliner with great purity, lingering salinity and aromatic, well-structured length. This is exciting and one of the greatest Veltliners I have had in my life. (Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2020)wine:
