CRFT - K1 Vineyard Gruner Veltliner 2024

A confident wine, likely due to the fact that it's made with considerably old vines for Australia, especially for Grüner. Floral honey, nectar and citrus on the nose, with a full palate of shortbread and vanilla, and something green. Zesty and rich, and delicious.
