The Alzingers’ 2007 Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Muhlpoint smells of under-ripe apricot, mint, green bean, and a hint of banana. Refreshing and cooling on the palate, it finishes with satisfying length and a hint of white pepper. I would plan to enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. Leo Alzinger senior’s lucid account of the 2007 vintage can be found in the general introduction to this report. After the extraordinary collection that he and his son, Leo, fielded from 2006, its successor – while different in personality – did not disappoint one bit. (I don’t know whether this was punishment for past sins, but I am sorry to have to report that your correspondent was not offered an opportunity to taste Riesling Smaragd bottlings from Liebenberg and Hohereck.)Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
