Soellner – Irden im Steinzeug Roter Veltliner 2014 – Wagram

Light golden colour, almost with a hint of pink something reddish. The nose has some development and a hint of complexity. This is obviously a young wine but think this is leaning in the direction of a natural, non-intervention style. It does have quite spicy fruit there with ripe stone fruit, with some ripe spices like pepper and vanilla, fresh butter. Good bite on the palate. That appears far younger than the nose. Youthful, with a very fresh acidity. There is a balanced bitterness on the palate I would say. Some phenolic compounds but it adds a good zest and spiciness. Still youthful and restrained fruit. I would prefer to give it some more time to develop some more roundness and charm. It does have length and it does have structure. It should certainly develop well. It does have character and personality.
