Apricot and apricot blossom are the key aromatic notes in this lovely if simple 2004 Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder. Its palate presence is plush yet virtually weightless at 11% alcohol, and lively, thanks to dissolved CO2 and refreshing acidity. There is a strong finish of salted apricot. It is a shame Wachau of this lightest, Steinfeder class – even if meant only for immediate consumption – so seldom finds its way to the US. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
