Weingut Petra Unger “Ried Oberfeld” Erste Lage Gruner Veltliner 2021

94 points Falstaff
Medium yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate meadow herbs, fine yellow apple fruit, a touch of apricot and tangerine zest. Powerful, nuances of white pome fruit, delicately spicy, a touch of anise, greengage and apricots, juicy, pleasant freshness, white fruit on the finish, lemony touch, good persistency, certain ageing potential.

Plenty of sliced pear and ripe melon fruit are wrapped around the creamy, full body of this well-crafted gruner veltliner. The acidity just carries the almost lush finish, where there is some exotic-fruit character.

90 points Robert Parker
The 2021 Ried Oberfeld 1ÖTW Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben has clear but very upfront fruit jumping into the nose with delicate smoky spice. Elegant and juicy on the palate, it is quite powerful and has fine acidity but is somewhat lacking in structure and grip. This is a good Veltliner from old vines, going more for texture than structure. 13.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure.
