Austria 2019

A blend of Setzberg, Hochrain and Singerriedel, this is a stunning value white. Picked a few weeks before the Smaragd, it’s incredibly pure and delicate on the nose, while there’s density on the palate, and a long, focussed finish. This is elegant, yet explosive.

From the vineyard just behind the winery, this is a true Austrian Grand Cru. So elegant, finessed and expressive on the nose. There’s notes of wet stones and vibrant acidity. This is beguiling, and so, so long. It’s a cerebral wine - one that encourages reflection. But it does so while remaining delicious.

The coolest site at almost 300m of altitude, on gneiss soils, this is so vibrant and energetic. Notes of lime blossom and grapefruit pith, and such a stony, mineral texture. This is long, pure, and incredibly focussed. Such a delight.
