Grüner Veltliner - Leo Hillinger

Leo Hillinger's Grüner Veltliner from Burgenland presents a bright, platinum yellow color in the wine glass. In the glass, this white wine from Leo Hillinger shows aromas of grapefruit, papaya, grapefruit, star fruit and Gallia melon, complemented by cocoa bean, gingerbread spice and cinnamon. Leo Hillinger Grüner Veltliner delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with 2.9 grams of residual sugar. As one might naturally expect from a wine in the upper price range, this Austrian naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp. Due to its vital fruit acidity, the Grüner Veltliner reveals itself exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this youthful white wine from the wine-growing region of Burgenland, more precisely from Lake Neusiedl, finally convinces with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by black earth and volcanic rock.

After the end of fermentation, the Grüner Veltliner can continue to harmonize for a few months on the fine lees...
