James Suckling – “Very charming and fragrant nose with a ton of red and purple flowers, forest berries and touches of thyme and rosemary. Bursting with fruit on the moderately sleek palate, but there’s wonderful, saline freshness that lifts this, making it dance on your tongue. So vibrant at the long, pure finish. Drink or hold.”- Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
