A Ripe Gruner

2003 Gruner Veltliner
Weingut Turk
Kremstal, Osterreich, Austria
Jen’s Notes

This crisp white from Austria showed scents of pear and grapefruit.The palate was clean, with herbal notes and pronounced minerality. Althought it was pleasant, it lacked the verve of other Gruners I have had (for example, by Nigl). A bit more complexity developed as the wine opened, and, if you like your Gruners less funky and more fruity, this one might be for you.
