Ferdinand Mayr, Grüner Veltliner, Niederösterreich, Austria 2019

Grüner Veltliner has been a stalwart of Aldi's Classic Icons range since it launched in 2019, but it is now made by a different producer. Quality is still high though in this weighty example, which has broad, ripe favours of stone fruit and juicy pear, plus a dusting of spice. It has nice structure from refreshing acidity and would be a nice match for a chicken tagine.
