Stadt Krems, Kremstal (Austria) Gruner Veltliner 2016

 This is simply marvelous Grüner Veltliner that does everything well:  It is wonderfully refreshing and even still almost “crackly” on the palate, yet it has the substance to work well with moderately robust food…no roast chicken is going to push this baby around.  It features expressive aromas and flavors reminiscent of pears, tangerines, and green lentils, with a strikingly lively texture.
