The bright nose of flint, green apple and cassis pulls you into this refreshing young gruner veltliner, which has stacks of fresh-herb character and plenty of depth on the medium-bodied palate. Crisp finish with nice wet-stone minerality.
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.
