"Vibrant and pure white, this offers ripe flavors of tropical fruit and durian. It is fleshy, but nicely balanced, ending in a long, mouthwatering mix of citrus and mineral. Drink now through 2030. - ALEKS ZECEVIC"

wine and spirits logo 250"The rich loess soils protected the vines in Eichelberg from severe frost damage in 2016, but they didn’t protect the yields. What was left produced a concentrated veltliner, round and deep in umami tones, with lime-leaf and parsley notes providing lift. It’s balanced and structured, built to age a few years or to pour with a creamy asparagus gratin."
