My Rating: 2.5 Stars
This was my first experience with a Grüner Veltliner. Unfortunately, it was a little boring. There’s nothing wrong with this wine; it’s just not much to it. It is fairly lightweight, with some citrus (mainly grapefruit), a little grass, and some faint minerality. It was fairly well balanced, with a short, slightly astringent finish. Although light overall, it did manage to stand up to the pork, and may become more exciting with grilled seafood or maybe sushi. For $18, though, I doubt if I give it a second chance.
