RATINGS

98Wine Enthusiast

A touch of savory yeast slowly emerges on the closed nose. The taut but concentrated palate then adds its yeasty, salty, crushed dandelion flavors to the picture. This is bright and fresh, wonderfully tight and concentrated, just waiting to unfold layer upon layer of salty umami pleasure.

96The Wine Advocate

...deep, pure, fresh and stony on the complex and elegant nose that reveals clear and flinty lemon confit aromas...rich, round and juicy, very elegant, refined and sustainable structured Loibenberg with a long, fresh and intense, finely tannic and grippy finish.

92Wine Spectator

Offers some high-toned elderflower, beeswax and tropical fruit aromas, along with grapefruit and legume flavors. Intense and complex on an elegant frame, with a bracingly long finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Very perfumed indeed. Quite a bit of palate weight and soft seduction. Long and reverberant. Blossomy and quite a pleasure!

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.
