Tasting Notes
Medium yellow-green colour. Still somewhat restrained, attractive apple fruit, fine yellow tropical fruit, a hint of white pepper, multi-faceted bouquet. Elegant, juicy Golden Delicious, well-integrated acidity structure, delicate orange flavour in the aftertaste, lingers well, secure development and certain ageing potential. A very typical Spitzer Veltliner type.
