Smoky, peppery aromas lead to the 1999 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Loibner Steinertal's broad, light to medium-bodied personality. Its tobacco, white flower, and spice-laden character offers excellent richness and breadth. Leo Alzinger describes 1999 as "a nearly perfect year for the Wachau." Drink it over the next 6 years.
