Bernhard Ott Grüner Veltliner ‘Am Berg’ 2011

gruener-veltliner-am-berg-2012-g1105

Begins with talc, apple juice, dill and clean vegetable aromas (celery, zucchini, squash). Definitely ‘vegetable’ and not ‘vegetal’. As it warms up, some white pepper spice comes out. To taste, more pepper, as well as radish, lime and green apple. Pure and refreshing, with just a slight spicy tickle on the back of the throat. Some texture as per the varietal, but it’s not the wine’s most distinctive feature.

Acidity and spice lends itself to food. I’m thinking many vegetarian dishes – those with spice and those with raw or still crunchy veg. Should be equally good with white fish topped with dill. Damn good wine, simply.
