Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Zingy citrus lime nose and a mouth-watering palate of pear, green apple & citrus. Crisp, very dry, green apple finish.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale lemon with green colour. A pretty light-bodied white wine with notes of green apple, citrus, and floral. Medium+ balanced acidity with a long apple crisp apple finish. Serve well chilled. Excellent value from Austria. Enjoy on it's own or pair with smoked sausage, fish and chips, schnitzel.
Tasted: February 2015
The flagship Austrian white wine is made from the Grüner Veltliner grape and produces wines of great acidity and minerality. - Community Wine Reviews
