BK Ovum Grüner Veltliner 2022

Our Ovum Grüner Veltliner is a wine long on structure that met its match in 2022… a vintage so structural, it was sculptural. Where 2021 was plush – eschewing the Australian tendency to push this variety toward acidic austerity – 2022 is statuesque, displaying uncommon weight and heft even on the nose, with crunchy quince, hachiya persimmon and white pepper characters. Herbaceous and juicy on the palate. Ovum has the vivacious wild spirit of a natural wine, but long fermentation and a full year on lees result in a seriousness far more befitting the top shelf.
