Varietal: Gruner Veltliner 

Region: Wachau

Country: Austria

Year: 2019

Winery Review: Rich, peach, with mingles. Dry, acidic, with hinges of green apple and flinty. Pairs well with seafood such as white fish. Also, known as Austria's greatest dry white wine. 

Wine Folly: pg. 120 references the Gruner Veltliner grape and how it has a rich history in Austria regarding dry white wines. They are lean, herbaceous, pear, and peppery. With this grape being used in a variety of different tastes, it allows it to be versatile in palate cleansing. 

My Review: It has a smooth texture, with a golden hue color, along with a fruity and acidic wine scent. The fruits smell like a combination of both oranges and pineapples. The taste of the wine was good. It contained a sweet first taste to a slightly sour aftertaste. Seemed like a more watery taste to the white than the smell entails with touches of pineapple flavor.
