Abbazia di Novacella Gruner Veltliner 2024 750ml

Description

Rated 93 – Aromas of white and yellow spring wildflower, Alpine herb, lime and stone fruit form the nose on the lovely 2024 Grüner Veltliner from Abbazia di Novacella. On the smooth, linear and delicious palate, bright acidity lifts green melon, white peach and lemon drop before closing on hints of nutmeg and a savory mineral note. – Kerin O’Keefe
