This is a lovely drink. Very light, flitting between what it is scared to be and what it should be. This is a relatively new variety in these parts, but one that shows great promise. Subtle. White pepper, lanolin and apricot pith. Waxy and fresh all at once. An effortless glide.

This is a lovely drink. Very light, fluttering between what it is scared to be and what it should be. After all, a relatively new variety to these parts, but one that shows great promise. Liminal. White pepper, lanolin and apricot pith. Waxy and fresh all at once. An effortless glide.
Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front
It ain’t all about Gruner here. In addition to Veltliner, there’s Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Gewurztraminer.
Quite pungent bouquet. Lemon zest, lime skin, green apple, red apple, candle wax, some nuttiness follows and mixed fruit in general. It’s a pleasing, easy, blend of aromatic grapes, does it well, drinks well, refreshes well. Light and slurpy with a little grip.
