Wine Review: This pale straw colored Gruner Veltliner from Huber is a very good example of this grape. It opens with an inviting grapefruit pith and lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with pleasant mild drying acidity. The flavor profile is a very tasty lime and stony mineral blend with hints of faint lychee and white pepper. The finish is pleasantly dry and refreshing. This good value Gruner would pair perfectly with broiled sea scallops. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Medium green yellow; pure pepper on the nose; hinting at typical Gruner spiciness; aromatic herbs and yellow fruit; dense and complex on the palate; great promise for the future. Goes best with trout or Asian cuisine.
