Josef Schmid Gruner Veltliner Kremser Alte Reben

點擊次數(shù)：1794

The 2006 Gruner Veltliner Kremser Alte Reben (which also carries the name “Priorissa” on the label, used by a group of Krems area vintners for top bottlings) smells ripely of baked apple, lime, stewed rhubarb, musk melon, mint and lychee. Imagine a hypothetical Gewurztraminer Veltliner. As lush and polished a Gruner Veltliner as one could wish for, with a suggestion of sweetness thanks to its enormously ripe, pure flavors, this wine, in fact, possesses only 13.5% alcohol and 4 grams of residual sugar. What’s more, it finishes with utmost clarity, vigor, and infectious juiciness and offers outstanding value. I cannot imagine one need worry about drinking it up for at least 4-6 years, and probably not for much longer. While I did not have occasion yet to meet Josef Schmid, the samples that came my way were, to say the least, impressive. The 2006s canvassed below are no flukes: Schmid’s 2005s were also hugely successful, although for reasons of space and the context of this report, I have not published those notes.Importing, Unionville, PA; tel.
