Weingut Ecker-Eckhof, Roter Veltliner, Wagram, Niederösterreich, Austria 2022

This ancient grape is unrelated to Austria's Grüner Veltliner – and rarely seen due to its fickle nature in the vineyard. But this is a tasty example that offers real interest at this price: exotic papaya and honeydew melon, juicy pear and a gently spiced creamy length.
