If you're among those who have discovered the simple pleasures of a crisp, refreshing Gruner Veltliner from Austria, you'll appreciate this step up from the most basic renditions of this increasingly popular wine. The nose is extremely expressive with aromas of lemon peel, hard candy and the characteristic hint of white pepper. In the mouth, there's an added mineral element and lots of pulpy lemon.

As dictated by the Federspiel designation, The Domane Wachau is completely dry, although its relatively full body gives it a richness that borders on sweet-tasting. You'll be a hero at your next deck party if you show up with this wine.
