2013 Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Renner - Austria, Niederösterreich, Kamptal (10/25/2015)
$42 on the list at a hotel restaurant in Poland, this was a no brainier selection. Initially reticent, after about 30 minutes of air (and getting it out of the ice bucket) this began to open up, slowly revealing multiple layers of aroma/flavor, starting with crisper green elements (cress, snap pea) then moving on to the white pepper so associated with Grüner Veltliner, and finally white peach and a touch of extra palate richness. Early days yet for this wine, but a lovely drink that pairs with whatever you care to throw at it.
