This is one of the most iconic Grüners in the game—an essential for experts and novices alike! The 2019 “Ried Mühlpoint” Federspiel is a classic straw-yellow at its core with silver-green reflections on the rim. After you’ve opened the bottle (decanting is not necessary), you may notice a touch of spritz from a little trapped CO2, but not to worry, it dissipates quickly as all the textbook Grüner Veltliner aromas begin wafting from the glass: green apple, lime blossom, white pepper, green herbs, wet stones, and white flowers. This is all about racing precision and surprising complexity. You’ll need to stock up. One or two bottles is not enough.
