2021 Zocker Grüner Veltliner

Round and energetic, with a great acid structure, this wine is steely and has pronounced minerality. It has bright aromas of lemon and lime on the nose, a strong white pepper note, and flavors of ripe melon and fruit cocktail. 90 Points, Grüner Veltliner: "Light, bright yellow. Lemon pith, dried pear, and succulent herbs on the incisive nose. Firm and lively in style, showing good depth to citrus and orchard fruit flavors, which reveal a refreshingly bitter edge on the back half. Closes taut and dry, with building quinine and fennel notes and a spicy jolt of candied ginger. I like the uncompromising style of this wine."- Josh Raynolds, January 2021
