Birgit Eichinger Roter Veltliner Wechselberg 2006
The Fruit is all lime, lemon, orange zest. There is a spiciness too -nutmeg, lavender and pumice, but not in a heady Gewurztraminer way –more like Muscat, yet even more subtle still. She has cold, steely mineral and awesome chill-inducing acidity. It seems that many producers have a hard time reaching optimal ripeness and styles too lean or outright gaudy are more often the norm (in my experience.) This is all beauty and grace.
