Grüner Veltliner Qualitätswein 2005 (White) (RV) Grüner Veltliner is the signature variety of Austria. This Grüner Veltliner has a very typical floral, peppery bouquet. On the palate it is fresh and spice, quite complex in terms of fruity aromas and very refreshing. As Jancis Robinson put´s it “Grüner Veltliner can put Austria in everybody’s mind!”
Messwein Kabinett 2005 (White) (RV) This “Welschriesling Messwein” has been selected once again to be the wine to be sacrificed in the holy mess in the Church of Illmitz – a small town which is known for its wines. The Messwein is a very refreshing, stylish and elegant white wine. Very stylish, herbal and fruity aromas in the bouquet – on the palate it is light and crisp, with a hint of green apples.
