With a classic aroma of lemon, flowers, and lentil, the 2006 Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Rotes Tor explodes on the palate with juicy, refreshing citrus, surprising red raspberry, floral inner-mouth perfume, and a hint of honeyed richness that does not detract from true Federspiel character. Herb and lentil low tones in the finish keep this exuberant, multidimensional wine firmly rooted in Gruner Veltliner typicity. As in so many vintages – but especially in 2006 – would that there were more Federspiel bottlings of this quality. It should drink well – though few will test this! – for at least a half dozen years.
