RATINGS

97James Suckling

As elegant as it is concentrated...breathtaking grüner veltliner that leaves you dazed by myriad nuances that run the entire fruit spectrum, from apples to pineapples. Then, on the dramatic finish, comes an entire microcosm of herbs. Astonishingly bright and lively for such elevated ripeness.

95Wine Enthusiast

Yeast, white miso and white pepper combine into a savory nose. The palate, with smooth, almost oily flow, presents a compact, concentrated body, tingling around the edges with that salty pepperiness, and revealing layer upon layer of yeasty depth. Saltiness and gentle freshness make the mouth water on this muscular, powerful but elegant wine.

93The Wine Advocate

...clear, fresh and flinty on the deep, pure and precise, crunchy stony nose. Rich and juicy on the elegant and well-structured palate...full-bodied and concentrated...develops an intense and long finish with persistent fruit and mineral structure. Impressive.

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.
