2020 Bernhard Ott Gruner Veltliner "Ried Spiegel" Erste Lage, Wagram, AustriaABOUT THIS WINE: This Gruner Veltliner was picked on well ventilated terraces of loess on top of calcareous, iron rich Danubian gravels. On the nose, yeast blends into the gentle woodland scent of moss, edged with just a little pepper. The palate is rounded, with a heightened sense of pepper on a very airy, smooth, almost ethereal body. Soaring towards the sky, this is fresh and bright, all reaching upwards. At once light footed and sprightly yet
