Certainly works here. This is the first time the team have offered the blend and it is promising for what is hopefully to come. A crimson purple hue, the nose offers lifted fruit characters. Touches of plums, herbs, florals, mulberries and chocolate, with a character reminiscent of a dusty road, heading into the hills. Supple and of medium length, we have attractive dark berry notes on the palate through to fine, firm tannins. This would be a cracking drink for a summer barbeque, any time over the next couple of years. Drink now–2026 Eden Hall Grüner Veltliner 2023 G 90 Pale colour. Freshly lifted lime, lemon peel, green apple, celery and hints of radish. Good viscosity and appealing fruit sweetness; lightweight and juicy with lemon, lime and green apple at the fore. A fine lacy texture to a pleasing early drinking style. 11% alc Drink now–2028
