2018 Mt Bera ‘Boundless Horizons’ Gruner Veltliner

The Endless Horizons range is the top line of Mt Bera wines, and this is a good Gruner, full of life and rich flavour, almost voluptuous – interesting to see how this delicate variety puts on weight with a few years under its belt. It sits somewhere between Riesling and Pinot Grigio, with high acidity in its youth, citrus flavours and savoury herbs. Usually drunk young and fresh. 95 points. BUY.

Only made in exceptional years. A fine adaptation, highlighting the inner beauty of gruner veltliner in shades of tropical white peach, green melon, citrus and apple. Not to mention fruit blossom, which casts a lovely aromatic overlay to the wine. Light on its feet but there are hidden depths here, texture, too, not to mention extended ageing ability. Elegance in a glass.
