2010 GRÜNER VELTLINER Messwein-Celebritas DAC Salomon Undhof

2010 GRÜNER VELTLINER Messwein-Celebritas DAC Salomon Undhof

Grapes: Grüner Veltliner  Origin: Austria, Kremstal
Lea & Sandeman review
Grown on loess-terraced vines rented from the Provost of Krems (originally gifted to the church in 1014 by Emperor Henri II), and made in a racy and very dry style that is in keeping with the traditional 'Messwein' used for religious celebrations.

Other reviews and comments
Pretty restrained on the nose - wet stones and a delicate note of citrus. Mouthwatering (almost eye-watering) acidity - a real racehorse with plenty of sinew but no excess flesh. Pure and lean and envigorating but with quite a strong flavour of fresh pear on thefinish. A little monastic!
Jancis Robinson MW OBE - www.JancisRobinson.com
Highly aromatic and fresh, with the light spiciness and juicy pear quality of Kremstal Grüner Veltliner, supposedly in keeping with the traditional 'Messwein' used for religious celebrations, and so finishing dry and mineral with the instant appeal of delicately spiced drinkability.   89/100

From loess soils in and around the Sandgrub sector at the northeast edge of Krems, Salomon’s 12% alcohol 2010 Gruner Veltliner Messwein is scented and flavored with rhubarb, blond tobacco, and toasted sunflower seeds; offers a lovely balance among stuffing, levity, and refreshment; delivers all this in an infectiously juicy, cucumber-like matrix; and finishes with saliva-inducing salinity. If this were enough to get a believer to mass on Sunday morning, it would also offer a lovely wake-up! It ought to remain attractive for at least another several years.   88/100
