Jamek’s 2007 Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder Marienfeld is too delightful not to mention, even though it may all have been drunk up inside Austria by now. Lime and fresh red currant inform this juicy, satisfyingly long refresher, tinged with white pepper and zest. To achieve a complete wine this delicate, vivacious, intensely-flavored and dry is no mean feat. After witnessing as a customer first hand last year the virtual absence of any remaining wine under 13% alcohol in the wonderful Jamek restaurant (and that was only in late June), it was a relief to know that 2007 provided a goodly supply. That said, as is often the case at this address – and this year even at Federspiel level – botrytis was a frequent and at times less than felicitous influence.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
