The 1999 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Rotes-Tor exhibits white flower and mineral aromas. Medium-bodied and satin-textured, it offers gravelly white fruit, stone, and mineral flavors in its highly expressive, concentrated, and admirably persistent personality. This outstanding wine can be drunk now or over the course of the next 7-9 years. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700.
