RATINGS

96Vinous / IWC

Hugely concentrated, large-scaled & powerful, with an opulent plum flavor laced with licorice and black pepper. Abundant flinty minerality & bracing acids are exquisitely integrated, providing this wine with excellent structure and focus.

REGION

Austria, Wachau

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.
