Nigl Herzstück vom Kirchenberg Grüner Veltliner Erste Lage 2016
Kremstal, Niederösterreich, Weinland Österreich, AustriaFrom the Ried (single vineyard) Kirchenberg, a sheltered, south-east facing 1st Lage site on a bedrock of mica schist comes this savoury, powerful gruner. Smouldering smoked stones, lemon verbena, wildflowers, green herbs melds into bright pear and lemon. Tautly textured by the riveting attention of schist, the core is plump with savoury lees, ending with a moreish wash of mineral salts. Serious grüner, absolutely delish now, but will with time to go ahead.Tasted: 22 July 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $75.95 | 750ml | consignment |
