2005 Franz Hirtzberger Spitzer Gruner Veltliner Rotes Tor Federspiel Wachau

Golden and honeyed in color. Creamy nose with key lime and nougat. Other 'low toned' aromas of honey, sweet oyster, lentils and legumes, and river rocks. Viscous and olive-oily on the medium bodied palate with nice zip. Finishes long with citrusy grapefruit rind and orange marmalade. Really nice action!

This paired beautifully with Seared Ginger-Soy Tuna Steak, Orange Vidalia Onion and Kalamata Olive Salad, and Israeli Couscous.
