Nigl, Kremstal (Niederösterriech, Austria) Gruner Veltliner 2018

May 7, 2019

By Wayne Belding

 Nigl is noted for exceptional quality Grüner Veltliners.  Their 2018 Freiheit bottling is juicy, fresh and bursting with aromas of lemon, lime and green apple fruits underscored by subtle elements of white pepper and lentils.  Grüner Veltliner is a great choice for springtime menus.  The flavors are clean and refreshing with a satisfying textural richness on the palate. The finish is crisp, dry and invigorating.  Try this juicy and lively Grüner with your favorite vegetable dishes.  Its inherent green characteristics give it an advantage over many other whites.  It’s a fine companion for fresh seafoods as well.
