Weingut Gottfried, Mittelback Grüner Veltliner Rosshimmel, Kremstal, Austria 2019

A step up in quality from many of the more commercial Grüners you see on the shelves, this comes from a vineyard planted on loess soils on a high plateau in the Kremstal region. Peardrop, lime citrus and white floral aromas, and a zippy, lemon sherbert energy in the mouth. Steely with a mineral length, it's intense but somehow ethereal at the same time.
