2013 Orangetraube but can't be labeled with variety or year because if Austrian wine law which doesn't recognize the variety as a legal wine grape. Crisp, mineral, citrus peel and white flowers. Not yet imported to the US

Pale lemon green; medium intensity aromas of orange juice, tangerine, ruby grapefruit, pear, star fruit; subtle spritz, dry, medium plus acid, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; so confused, I thought this was going to be an orange wine 😂

Star bright straw gold. Aggressive nose of white flowers and white grapefruit rind. Underripe green apple, white tea, white pepper paste on the palate with bracing acidity that's balanced by a wee bit of citrusy sweetness (not a sweet wine by any stretch). At 12.5% abv this could be your Thanksgiving white. It's asking for a rich poultry-led meal, but would work as a summer "sipper" just as well.

This is really cool - variety is Orangetraube, a lost grape found in Austria. Beautiful nose with some funk and citrus, almost a note of orange blossom on the blowback, slight effervescence on the palate. Great summertime wine and completely different.

This was just delightful. White tea, mandarin orange peel, flowers. A true delight

So funky and so good and bright. Citrus pith, pineapple and a great electricity. Peach fuzz. Hint of an old library. Layers and layers and long finish. Kind of like that rare gewürztraminer you actually want a second glass of. And could almost fool you for an aged Riesling.
