Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Classic

Thought it was Riesling at first, until the acidity dropped off mid-palate and gave the game away. Peaches, stones, white fruit on the nose. A touch sweet, a touch green underneath. Wachau Federspiel is supposed to be the lighter, more drinkable cousin of Smaragd, and this delivers exactly that - straightforward, friendly, no big ambitions. Not bad, just simple.
