This was the first sample of our Gruner Veltliner blind tasting. This wine took really long to open up as it was probably slightly over-chilled at the beginning. It is nice fresh and zesty type of  Gruner Veltliner. It ended up on the 3rd place. For pic please refer to previous tasting of the same wine from February. It is actually very similar to this tasting. In February I remember the wine being younger, nicely zestiness on the tongue.
