Leindl – Grüner Vetliner Reserve 2013

Rich, low-toned and, like its non-vineyard-designated counterpart, dominated by root vegetables accented by pepper and dark leafy greens, this adds a mouthwateringly Traminer-like note of bacon and hints of caramel as well as stimulating tartness and tang of rhubarb. These elements synergistically combine with the stony and peppery inflections of the wine’s impressively long, sappy, deeply savory finish.
