Niel Joubert Gruner Veltliner 2022
The wine's pale and clear appearance belies a bright burst of fruit on the nose.
Notes of passion fruit, grapefruit and pineapple abound, while an undertone of sweet vanilla adds depth.
In contrast to the flavorful nose, the wine is light-bodied with subtle fruit flavors on the palate, leaning towards fresh green apple notes to compliment the crisp and exquisitely balanced acidity.
The aftertaste is clean and fresh.
Overall this is a very fruity and refreshing wine.
The name pays homage to the Roman poet, Ovid, who is quoted on the front label of this wine: “Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it there will be a fish.”
