Tegernseerhof, Gruner Veltliner "T26" Federspiel, Wachau, Austria 2021
{sustainable} 100% Gruner Veltliner
VIBRANT CITRUS & PEACH, WHITE PEPPER & MINERAL, GRÜNER GOLD
The always-excellent T26 cuvée takes its name from a tasting session with Austrian importer, Klaus Wittauer, who was in the Mittelbach family cellar searching for his absolute favorite among their tanks of recently-vinified Grüner. When he found the one, he exclaimed, "This is it! I’ll take the whole tank." That tank was #26. Classic stone-fruit and zesty citrus carry notes of the variety’s trademark white pepper and flint. Prost!
