Tasting Notes:
(Tasting by the famed Austrian Wine Critic, Peter Moser)
Medium greenish yellow, silver reflections. Slightly smoky, finely spiced apricot fruit, soft notes of orange zest, very inviting bouquet, mineral underpinnings. Taut, elegant, white stone fruit, finesse-rich acidity, subtle yellow tropical fruit on the finish, good ageing potential, a multi-faceted food wine.
