Bird in Hand Gruner Veltliner 2016
$28.00
A massive surprise when recently tasted at nine years of age. Alluring floral scents of pear, apple skin and a dusting of dried herbs with emerging toasty, buttery and honeyed complexity also reveal notes of mineral and creamy yeast-derived influences. It’s long, unctuous, smooth and seamless, gently rolling down the palate with suggestions of citrus oil, pear and melon underpinned by a fine chalkiness and a hint of mineral to finish. Beautifully measured, almost savoury and with a hint of saline, it’s a superbly presented wine with plenty of freshness and life ahead. Delightful.

Winery
Bird in Hand
Bird in Hand is an established Adelaide Hills producer based near Woodside. Its reds are typically quite ripe and relatively alcoholic Đ it's found in a warmer part of the region Đ while the Chardonnay can be fine and tightly focused. The company's leading wines are sold under the 'Nest Egg' label. For mine, they can show a touch too much ripeness and a shade too much overt oak.
