Appearance: Bright yellow.

Palate: Medium-bodied on the palate. Appearance of complexity. Crisp acidity and iodine. Pear and citrus notes with mild spiciness.
Food friendly wine, this is. It is sure a good value table wine that deserves stocking up. I love the crunchiness character of this wine by Nikolaihof whilst subtlety and creaminess are still maintained. If Gruner Veltliner is your kind of white wine, here is one for drinking during the next 5 years.
