Graf Josef, Gruner Veltliner 2011
A dinner gift from The Calders.
They say the Gruner Veltliner (GV) is a second fiddle grape to the mighty Riesling but more than a third of growth in Austria is GV and it’s a very tasty drop indeed.
The Corkscrew described it thus:
“Displaying spice, refreshing citrus, apple and lightly exotic flavours, Graf Josef Grüner Veltliner is classic Austrian – elegant and sprightly with a touch of flair. Great to drink on its own”
