Martin Nigl's Grüner Veltliner Pellingen Privat 2015 reveals aromas of kiwi, banana and green apple, apricots and ripe peaches, with a lifting note of herbal spice. On the palate, the concentration of fruit balances perfectly with the fine lees texture. It leaves a long fruity finish with spicy white pepper aftertaste.
