APOLLO’S PRAISE GRÜNER VELTLINER

White pepper, flint, and grapefruit pith on the nose immediately signal this wine isn’t a light-bodied sipper, and on the midpalate it lives up to expectations. Generous fruit from the cold soaking, texture from the barrel fermentations, and weight from the lees stirring all combine to make for a Grüner that makes a serious mark.
