2010 Tegernseerhof 'Höhereck' Grüner Veltliner Smaragd

2010 Tegernseerhof 'Höhereck' Grüner Veltliner Smaragd
I contend this is potentially the best vintage ever for Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau region.
I've never seen before similar levels of precision, freshness, transparency and complexity in these wines.
This is a complete Grüner Veltliner in every regard, it's as good as this grape variety can get.
Multi-dimensional, pure and precise nose of sea salt, vegetables, chicken meat and clean yellow fruit.
Striking freshness. Both concentration and depth are amazing, the complex finish lasts about a minute.
I have to admit that I don't like Grüner Veltliner too much actually. But if it's that good I simply cannot resist ..
- My personal rating: 93+/100.

Cheers, Rainer

Best ever? I might have to wiggle past a buying moratorium.

Found at Brancaia for 27 CHF; good price?

I've double-checked, it's CHF 37 actually. Yes, this is still an attractive price, about the same that you'd have to pay at the winery.
Cheers, Rainer

You are right! My intention was to write 37. Still not bad for a wine of that calibre!
