Sohm & Kracher 2016 Grüner Veltliner "St. Georg"

As you might recall, St. Georg is the village where the second parent grape of grüner veltliner was discovered in 2000; traminer is the mother vine and Sankt Georgen is the father. This site is cooler in temperature, sits mid-slope and is planted on pure limestone. Inspired by Burgundian winemaking techniques, the result of this wine is a very unique—almost Chablisienne-style—of grüner veltliner. It is clean and beautifully textured with fresh melon and rhubarb aromatics. We recommend decanting this wine.
