Gruner Veltliner
O’Rourke’s Peak 2018 Grüner Veltliner
Tropical pineapple and stone fruit lead, with white pepper giving both the nose and palate a distinctive savoury lift. Lychee and honeycomb add a gently rounded middle, while thyme, lime and fine minerality bring focus through the finish. Expressive yet well defined, this is an aromatic white with enough freshness and detail to remain poised at the table.
Bordertown 2019 Grüner Veltliner
Bright and aromatic, with pineapple and a soft honeyed note lifted by a light mineral edge. White peach and apricot carry through the palate, where balanced acidity keeps the ripe fruit fresh and clean. The texture is gently rounded without losing definition, finishing poised and easy. Serve well chilled with seafood, soft cheeses or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
Fairview Cellars Crooked Post 2019 Bill’s OJ Grüner Veltliner
Savoury herbs lead into subtle stone fruit, citrus blossom and a gently rounded honeycomb note. Fresh acidity gives the palate definition, while a quiet touch of vanilla and fine pithy grip add texture through the long finish. Aromatic without excess weight, it works well with roast chicken, grilled vegetables or creamy seafood dishes.
