This is resally drinking nicely right now. Maybe give it just a bit of air. Light golden in color. The nose has peas, slight white pepper and pears. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has good, not intense acidity. Nice mouthfeel. The pears continue thru and give it some edge. Very persistent finish. Drinking well, it won't get better but should last for another five years. A nice match with lighter summer foods or on its own.
Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with limes and white pepper. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Depth. On the palate, limes and some minerality. Dry. Long finish. Very similar to the Steinfeder version just more of everything. This is great on its own and will work well with most lighter foods. Thai food would be a nice match. Drink over the next three to five years.
Light silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with slight limes, asparagus and a slight white pepper. Medium bodied. On the palate, lemon/lime notes. Good acidity. Some minerality. Deep. Long finish. This is light on its feet but serious enough to stand up to moderately heavy foods. It would be nice with fish tacos. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruits with white pepper. Light bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, the grapefruit comes thru along with a touch of white pepper. Good finish. Refreshing. This is probably better with food. Lighter foods but also fried chicken would work well. Drink now.
This is a good wine, but given its $96 price tag, it was disappointing. A slight amount of trapped CO2. Medium gold in color. Slight sulfur to the nose but otherwise pretty tight. Some asparagus and limes. On the palate, this is soft. It has a dusty taste with slight limes. No obvious faults here. Given the pedigree, it may be shut down hard right now though that's not something usually associated with GV. Good acidity. Worked well with food. It did not seem to change in any respect for the two and a half hours in the glass.
Steinfeder is the lowest category in the ripeness classification of white wines in Austria's Wachau Valley. It means the wines have a mandated maximum alcohol level of 11.5 percent. The result is that the wines have a lighter body and tend to drink easier and sooner. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes and slight white pepper. Medium bodied. On the palate, tart limes. Good acidity. Long finish. This is very food friendly and would go well with pasta primavera. Drink over the next few years.
