Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner 2003

We tasted a number of Grüner Veltliners at the International Wine and Food Festival at the Banff Springs Hotel in October (about which much, much more at some unspecified future date) because one of the sessions was on Austrian wine, and Grüner Veltliner is the archtypical varietal of Austria. We enjoyed them very much in Banff, but this one from Schloss Gobelsburg was, for some reason, a bit of a disappointment: it seemed thin and uninteresting, especially in comparison to the Martinshof Morio-Muskat Kabinett blogged about two posts ago.

Perhaps we only like higher-end Grüner Veltliners...obviously, a wider sampling is needed! Posted by Picasa
