The Nikolaihof 2007 Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder is too delightful and fascinating not to mention, even though like its predecessors it is apt to all be drunk inside Austria. Aromas of hay with hints of orange zest and black pepper inform this delicate and refreshing wine, whose finish reveals a grip one would hardly suspect from something so light. Nikolaus Saahs followed up his amazing 2006 collection with more than suitable successors (although the top Rieslings of 2007 - following usual Nikolaihof practice - will only be unveiled this year or next, and could not yet be reviewed). As is frequently the case at this passionately biodynamic address, the Saahs family is happy to point out that they finished harvesting fully ripe fruit - early October - before some area growers had probably even begun.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
