RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

Notes of crushed yarrow and dandelion leaf seem to be melted in salty yeastiness that is subtle but savory on the nose. The palate also holds this aromatic, herbal-tinged richness and supplements it with apple and Mirabelle notes while the yeast lends texture and depth.

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.
