Hahndorf Hill produce four different styles of Gruner, of which Gru is the classic style. This savoury beauty has an enticing nose of citrus, nectarine and spice with a wonderfully vibrant palate of stone fruit, grapefruit and an unctuous citrus core that is offset by a long, slatey mineral tail and the all-important gentle rub of texture. Perfectly matched with all Asian cuisine, white meats, sea-foods and vegetarian dishes. But most excitingly, here is the ultimate white wine that will match perfectly with your favourite rare sirloin steak! Gruner Veltliner is a variety that ages well and this wine should develop splendidly for between 7 - 10 years.
"Soft, linen-like aroma, a hint of gardenia, all very attractive; the palate fresh and clean, with drying acidity and a trace of tannin at the finish. It's firm and dry and appetising, and would be good with food because of its structure and grip. An appealing dry white with length and backbone" Huon Hooke. The Real Review.
"Larry Jacobs and Mark Dobson are stepping away from Hahndorf Hill and into well-earned retirement, so it’s timely to acknowledge the role these two played in pioneering gruner veltliner in this country. This wine validates their unwavering faith in the variety. It’s packed tight with pear skin and grapefruit, a touch of quince too, and liberally sprinkled with peppery spice. It’s a delicious legacy to leave." Nick Ryan. Top 100 Wines of 2024. The Weekend Australian.
Perfect rendition of the variety.
