Weninger's re-introduction of Furmint grapes back into Austrian vineyards is a lightweight and delicate expression. White flowers, key lime, and a light salinity on the palate make this a very fresh tasting White wine.
The Muster family's Chardonnay, Morillon in local dialect, from clay soils at high elevation. This wine is rich and mineral with a long elevage in old oak barrels before release.
Riesling grapes picked in 2011, bottled in 2017, therefore developing tertiary characterics to match the fruit. Glorious honeyed nose. Astonishingly well-priced bottle from the oldest winery in Austria.
Nikolaihof was the world's first Biodynamic estate and the family winery is still one of the top producers of Gruner Veltliner wines in the region. The wine is flinty, peppery, and just off dry. It's a perfect pairing for Sichuan food.
Andreas Tscheppe's Green Dragonfly Sauvignon Blanc shows off the flinty and mineral side of Sauvignon Blanc but this 2017 reserve wine was bottled with 5g of residual sugar that give the wine a little spritz.
Ex Vero I is the lower selection of the vineyard which ripens earlier. Unique Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay with age in old oak barrels before release.
Ex Vero (From Truth) is the higher elevation vineyard with deeper roots and more complex fruit. Unique Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay with age in old oak barrels before release.
Ewald Tscheppe's intense commitment to biodynamic farming gives life to the grape Welschriesling, which is known for boring wines in the hands of lesser winemakers.
