JM 1ST APPROACH

Displays at first a delicate smoky spiciness which is gradually overtaken by the bright fruit, light green fruit notes, gently fragrant; robust with a rather lean structure, spicy on the palate, subtle fruit, a little red chilli pepper and lemon in the background.

A very creamy aroma leads to flavors of ripe tangerine, honeydew melon and tropical fruits. The opulent, spicy finish features crisp, powerful acidity. Drink now through 2020.

Grüner Veltliner at its best displays beautiful pink grapefruit scents with lots of mineral undertones -- Light gold with greenish glints, creamed minerals, lots of pink grapefruit and apply fruit, with some straw undertones.Soft-textured, yet with a crisp, zesty mouthfeel. Fresh stoniness with lots of dry bitter-apple and lemon-lime fruit. Long, refreshing finish. Very distinctive.

Nigl continues to offer attractive, aromatic, clean, beautifully balanced Grüners, and we continue to seek them out. This is a basic bottling, which is just fine with us. Ample tangerine citrus fruit with a firm backbone and attractive crispness in the finish. It’s the ultraviolet yin to the infrared yang of ripe years like ’09 or ’06. I like it just as much.
