2025 Nigl Grüner Veltliner Freiheit, Austria, Niederosterreich, Wine Review

Vintage:

Score:

Grade: 
A-
Current Price: 
$22.00USD

Light silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is dusty with limes and slight apples.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  Some depth and complexity.  On the palate, flavors of apples, cucumbers and minerals.  Good finish.  This is vibrant and fresh now and no reason to wait, but it should drink well for four to seven more years.  Nice on its own, this would work very well with Sushi.

Pale golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with limes, slight earthiness, clean, and slight white pepper.  Medium to full bodied.  Rounder on the palate.  Flavors of limes and green apples.  Good finish.  Nice on its own, this will be better with food.  This would go well with grilled green beans and other summer vegetables.  Drink over the next few years.

This is an inexpensive white wine that comes in a one liter bottle.  Pale silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose has limes.  Light bodied.  On the palate, this is dry with a tart limeade quality.  Shorter finish.  This will work better with food.  It would be a nice choice with fried Artichokes.  This would be a nice choice for a larger gathering as it has nice value.  Drink now.

Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great.  Classic aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and baking spices.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is delicious if still youthful.  Plenty of depth, it unwinds in the glass.  Flavors of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and spice.  Long finish.  Drink over the next twenty years.  This is great on its and will work well with big foods.  A nice choice with BBQ Brisket.

This is a Rosé made from 100% Pinot Noir.  Pale salmon orange in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with strawberries, light cherries and slight cranberries.  Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  On the palate, this is tasty with good energy.  Flavors of strawberries and cherries.  Easy to drink.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own and will work well with many foods.  A nice choice with Grilled Salmon but also a "Cold Pasta" dish.  Drink over the next few years.
