Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix

Grüner Veltliner Ried Bürsting 2018, 4.5 of 5 stars (top 20): Peter Moser: “Bright green yellow, silver reflections. Fine blossom honey, some guava and golden-delicious, delicate herbal shades. Juicy, tight, integrated acidity structure, extract sweetness after white stone fruit, mineral, elegant finish, versatile food companion.”

Grüner Veltliner Weinviertel DAC Ried Kirchberg 2018, 4 of 5 stars. Peter Moser: “Medium yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine herbs, a little white apple, a touch of grapefruit stems. Medium body, balanced acidity, slightly mineral, pomaceous fruit on the finish, spicy in the finish, already good to drink.”
