RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Crunchy snap pea and apple are pungently complemented by marjoram and grapefruit rind on a penetrating nose and on a polished... Peppery and chalky notes lend invigoration to a strikingly persistent finish.

90Wine Spectator

Perfumed aromas of elderflower, legume, peach and roasted almond highlight this juicy white, which has good cut and a lingering finish of white pepper and stone.

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.
