Erich Berger’s Grüner Veltliner in full liter bottles is perennially one of the best buys in the market. The Berger family winery in Kremstal offers a range of wines has become best known for its full Liter Grüner. This is a perfect summer sipper! Much of the fruit comes from Berger’s Kremstal vineyards and grows in deep loess soil. The Berger 2020 Grüner Veltliner easily compares with $20 to $25 bottles. It is bright, fresh and bursting with juicy fruit aromas – lemon, lime and green apple fruits are backed by subtle green herb tones and white pepper spiciness. The flavors are clean and refreshing with a delicious lift and vivacity. It also has a satisfying textural richness on the palate – typical of loess-grown Grüners. Enjoy it on a hot summer day.
