RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

Powerful in the mouth, with prune, fig, mango and pineapple elements making a sweet, rather baroque impression.

92The Wine Advocate

...features mango, maracuja, apricot, and black fruits in a ripely-scented, lush melange which suggests honeyed richness and sweetness on account of its glycerin, botrytis, and sheer extract.

90Wine Spectator

Concentrated ripe peach and Fuji apple flavors fill this well-balanced Grüner. Rich, spicy notes linger on the juicy finish.

TYPE

White Wine, Grüner Veltliner, Smaragd

This white grape is widely grown in Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. As a wine, it is food friendly and has beaten top Chardonnays in blind tastings. It compares to a white Burgundy in richness and texture, and offers an exotic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.
