In the past
few years I have tried a number of promising, even exciting Australian Gruner
Veltliners, but none that I would necessarily unreservedly recommend. The 2013
Lark Hill Gruner Veltliner, however, brings home the bacon. It is the best Oz
Gruner I’ve had.
It’s a
generous, almost viscous white wine, but is beautifully balanced by insistent
acidity. Highly aromatic. Florals, lots of spices, and melons. There are some
green veggie notes that actually really work, adding interest and complexity.
Finishes nice and long. It has the balance to age well, though I think it’s the
kind of wine that will deliver the most enjoyment in the next few years.
