2019 Groiss Weinviertel Gruner Veltliner

After a high flying career in marketing Ingrid Groiss returned to her family origins, enrolling in viticulture, oenology and wine marketing at the University of Vienna. During those studies gained experience with producers such as Domäne Wachau, Birgit Braunstein and Birgit Eichinger. She had to play second fiddle to her chief winemaker dad until in 2010 when she went head-to-head with him in a blind taste-off of their own wines, with the victor being handed the winemaker's reins. Needless to say Ingrid came out on top.
Brilliant water like colour with a greenish tinge to the edges. Pronounced ripe pear, lime and green apple aromas display ample volume with hints of dried honey and wet slate ensuing. Mouth watering pear, ripe apple and lime flavours have a round slippery feel with slate and flinty mineral characters evident on the dry finish. Crisp acidity with a light orange tang to the deliciously long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
