Lentil, fresh spinach, nutmeg, and pungent herbs in the nose...ripe, juicy, open and accessible bowl of fresh melons, this time along with plums, lentils, green herbs, brown spices, and a touch of white pepper.

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.
