KONRAD SINGLE VINEYARD GRUNER VELTLINER 2022

At bottling the wine is an attractive mid-straw with green hues. The nose shows a pleasing array of fruit and mineral characters from pear, baked apple, fennel, white peach and raspberry. The ground white pepper signature is there but also is an intriguing minerality reminiscent of the smell of hot stones in a sauna. The palate is full bodied with impressive vinosity, a powerful mid palate crammed with yellow fruits; quince, grapefruit, honeydew melon and ripe gooseberry. We have left a trace of residual sugar to avoid austerity and left sufficient acid to give the wine length. This is an incredibly gustatory wine meaning it is one of the most versatile food friendly wines in the world. Think Riesling on steroids and you’re on the right track.
