White pear, black pepper and acacia honey on the nose. At once velvety and powerful, with a juicy structure lending definition to the spiced melon flavor.
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.
