Gattinger, Grüner Veltliner Ried Weitenberg Smaragd 2024

Terraced site in Weißenkirchen. Gföhler gneiss. Peppercorn straight on the nose. White peach and apple blossoms intermingle with toasted spices like crushed coriander and cardamom pod. Fantastic spice-laden palate with superb freshness. There's been a stylistic shift at this estate towards fresher wines, and the changes are really paying off.
