Austria’s signature grape Grüner Veltiner produces a wonderfully versatile white wine for matching with food. In its dry form, it has a nose of green peach and lemon with a note of white pepper and a thread of minerality. Straw-coloured with a hint of lime, this medium-bodied, dry wine finishes on a note of green apples.
Subtle perfumed elderflower, pear blossoms, delicate green apple on the lighter palate of this biodynamic Grüner. Thin and fine on the palate, with a riff of white pepper spiciness and etchings of apricot fizz and grapefruit peel lingering on the finish. Tight and light, this is best suited to tender spring vegetables or lighter risotto.
Meinklang is one of the darlings of the natural/hipster/sommelier set and this wine lives up to its darling reputation. Biodynamically grown (Demeter certified) estate Zweigelt was native fermented in neutral oak and small tanks. Highly perfumed black raspberry, downy thorns, underbrush, mushrooms, wild strawberry, potent white peppery channels down a medium-bodied, streamlined palate. There's a slim mud of tannins around the sides that houses all this earthy, forested savouriness to a dusky cherry finish. Zweigelt is a friendly, bright grape and here shows all of its earnest charm.
Clear pale copper. Medium-intensity nose of strawberry-rhubarb pie and peaches. A food wine, dignified, fruity with flavours of melon, lemon and peach, but restrained by fine acidity. Would be a versatile aperitif to accompany charcuterie and cheeses. Ready to drink.
Fragrant floral and fresh green fruit scents with a pinch of white pepper shift to stone fruit flavours showing white peach, prickly acidity and firm mineral grip. Finish offers attractive creaminess with suggestions of apricot and tropical fruit.
Dry, this mineral-driven Riesling also flaunts bergamot, citrus, orange peel and notes of honey. There is loads of freshness, which helps carry the finale. Pork schnitzel, please!
Rich, fresh, complex with great finesse showing stone fruit, white flowers, cracked pepper and minerality. Food-versatile and will likely gain complexity with a few more years of aging. Pair with everything from Tandoori salmon to a grilled veal chop.
