Mt Bera Vineyards Boundless Horizons Gruner Veltliner 2024
$45, 13%, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
It’s full golden in colour and it has both the texture and flavour to match. This is a white wine with a good deal of body to it. It tastes of green apples, preserved lemons, peppery spice and an array of florals, with a gently sherried aspect to the aftertaste. It’s attractive. It’s interesting. And it’s satisfying. 93 points.
