Pipe'Dreams Grüner Veltliner 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGrüner veltliner is rarely grown in Canada, and it's a shame. This version, from Oliver, is ripe and broad on the creamy palate, but smartly hemmed in with a buzzy pink grapefruit pith acidity and kept bright from time in stainless. Yellow apple, peach and an herbal slick of lees are appealing, though the alcohol (14 percent) is noticeable on the finish. Would love to see this picked earlier to bring down the heat and up that acidity in future.Tasted: 18 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
