"Fresh and fruity, with aromas reminiscent of white currant, citrus fruits and " veltlinerpfefferl" or white pepper. The flavors on the palate are consistent with the aromas and the finish is fresh and crisp. A classic Grüner Veltliner from Kremstal, not too heavy but not too light."

"Rich, golden character with ripe fruit and pleasant oak nuances. Aromas of poached pears are encircled by toasty-sweet toffee and caramel notes. Barrel fermentation and sur lie aging lend a rich creaminess to the mouthfeel, adding layers of crème brûlée, caramel and baking spices to the juicy baked apples and pear. Lemon meringue leaves a bright impression on the long finish. Pair this well-balanced Chardonnay with scallops or other rich seafood."

"Purple in color, it offers up aromas of spice box, lavender, and black cherry. Savory and forward in the glass, it is a grapy, succulent effort for drinking over the next 5 years as well as an excellent value."

"A core of ground spice mixing with flavors of whole-grain toast, pear tart, hazelnut and lemon zest in this well cut Champagne, which is finely meshed, offering an airy mousse that leads to the refined, lingering finish."
