Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Rotes Tor

Yes, there is also a Federspiel version of the Roter Tor Veltliner, a rather seductive one at that. It has everything that the big wine, the Smaragd, has to offer, only the Federspiel is a little less full-bodied, but therefore no less present or, to put it another way, impressive. Overall, the wine is simply a little lighter because the grapes for it were harvested earlier. It has a wide range of aromas, from seductive honeydew melon notes to floral, even spicy components and a hint of freshly torn orange zest. Quite appetizing, in my opinion. The wine moves elegantly, one could even say with finesse, through the palate and shows a super juicy acidity towards the end, which not only shapes the wine, no, it is also its backbone, its structure. The finish is salty, mineral and impressively long. A wine that is not only a pleasure to drink as an aperitif; it would also be an excellent accompaniment to food if the bottle wasn't empty so quickly.
