Rudi Pichler Wosendorfer Kollmutz Gruner Veltliner Smaragd 2022 Serra Gaucha Yet it retains marvelous freshnessI have heard gruner veltliner dismissed for supposedly not being elegant, but this is an extremely elegant example! Very complex nose of snow peas, green beans, wild herbs and green pepper. On the medium bodied palate, this remarkable gruner veltliner has a discreet succulence, but what makes it amazing is the way it glides so gracefully over the palate, then splash lands in a deep pool of wet stone minerality. Underplayed power and concentration! 97
