Rudi Pichler Achleithen Gruner Veltliner Smaragd 2023 Etna Rosso undergrowth and orange zest onSuch an expressive and elegant gruner veltliner. Yes, it has those classic peppery aromas on the medium bodied palate, but theres also an entire floral dimension that makes it stand out so prominently. Then comes the extremely long, silky and refined finish thats incredibly sensuous. Sustainable. 98 Pts James Suckling
