"The 2021 Grner Veltliner John Sebastiano is phenomenal. What a wine! Rich, ample and explosive, the 2021 captivates all the senses with its dynamic personality. Aromatic and deep, with tremendous resonance, the 2021 is so impressive. Ripe orchard fruit, lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers and chamomile build into the explosive finish. Wind during flowering caused significant shatter and lowered yields by a whopping 70%. The wine that was made, well it is truly exceptional."
