2024 Longview Macclesfield Gruner Veltliner, Adelaide Hills

Succulent white wine of distinct varietal character, and great for it. Cucumber in tonic water, some ginger spice, kohlrabi and radish notes, green herbs, a dusting of white pepper and a big squeeze of lime. Squeaky textured, good sense of freshness and chew. Terrific drinking here.
