RATINGS

95James Suckling

Peach, rose and a fresh herbal nose. Sleek and filigree...great lemon zest and a mineral finish that goes on and on.

94Vinous / IWC

Ripe peach and high-toned almond are joined on the nose by intimations of the peach kernel piquancy that subsequently lends welcome counterpoint on a glossy, creamy palate. The finish delivers a remarkable, mouthwatering sweet-saline savor of raw scallop, allied to bittersweet nuts and caramelized parsnip.

93Wine Spectator

Delivers cardamom, pear and white pepper aromas and flavors across a velvety, elegant structure. Beautifully knit and well-integrated, with a lingering aftertaste of mineral, lavender and fleur de sel.

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.
