Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Liwa Grüner Veltliner shines pale straw with green highlights. Aromas of zesty lime, green apple, and freshly cracked white pepper rise from the glass, accented by delicate notes of stone fruit and a hint of flinty minerality. On the palate, it’s crisp and lively, offering citrus zest, green pear, and a refreshing herbal undertone. Bright acidity and a clean, mineral-driven finish make it exceptionally versatile and vibrant.
