Neil –
Tasted alongside a conventional and mid-market Gruner Veltliner, the Arndorfer was by far the more complex, richer wine and changed beautifully over the evening (not that it lasted that long). It has trademark white pepper and citrus notes but also layers of softer fruit and a creamy minerality (if that’s possible). This wine is a great bargain and an education. This review is many months after the event and the memory is almost as fresh as the wine was on the night.
