"The stunning 2023 Grüner Veltliner from Abbazia di Novacella has enticing aromas of hawthorn, ripe white stone, citrus and Alpine herb. It's smooth and savory, delivering flavors of white peach, grapefruit, ground pepper and nutmeg accompanied by mouthwatering acidity. Abv: 13% Kerin O'Keefe July 2024"

"A classic Grner Veltliner for the notes of lentil, white peach, smoke and milled pepper. Lithe and creamy, this light-bodied version is backed by citrusy acidity. Drink now through 2026. "

"Aromas of canteloupe, Granny Smith apple and smoke follow over to the vibrant palate along with lemon drop, white pepper and wild herb. Bright acidity and flinty mineral notes impart fabulous energy. ‡ Kerin O,Keefe"

"The Abbazia di Novacella 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Grner Veltliner is an open-knit white with peach, pineapple and baked apple. This medium-weight wine closes with a silky texture and a lean finish. Three-quarters of the must is fermented and aged in stainless steel and one-quarter goes into large oak casks. The vines are rooted in glacier soils with quartz and other mineral deposits. "
