I like the subtle white pepper and lemongrass spice here, along with grapefruit, white pears and small white flowers. Plenty of coolness and freshness, with a medium body and a refreshing finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

An energetic, linear style, with a supple core of mirabelle plum, kiwi and fresh agave overlaying its foundation of flinty mineral, sea salt and savory spice notes. Offers impressive ripeness, freshness and energy. Drink now through 2032.

A juicy acidity leads the powerful flavors of pear, dried pineapple and apricot in this bracing white. Hints of white chocolate lend added complexity and intrigue, culminating in a voluptuous finish.

The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Mühlpoint Federspiel is picked directly below the Steinertal vineyard. The soils are loamier, with a little loess mixed with eroded gneiss debris that was deposited here. The nose presents ripe green and yellow pear, with sage and white pepper crushed into a paste. While fruit and body are rounded, poise and elongation are also here. This is beautiful and elegant with lovely pepperiness. (Bone-dry)
