Styria, Austria

A staggeringly superb and unequivocally mineral white. From the south of Styria (Austria’s southernmost region), winemaker Roland’s biodynamic estate is six hectares of pure collaboration between man and nature. The courageous sauvy b is destemmed, left on skins overnight, and then gently pressed – creating generosity that is like your tongue is bathing in the tepid lagoons of Aphrodite herself. Yellow apples, bletted quince, braids of hay, crushed oregano, sweet roses, green melon, salty scrapes, chalkboard, sweet orange oil rubbed behind the ear lobe & acidic prickles. Enjoy while planning your new years trip to the Tauss’ property, which also features as a homey, eco-friendly hotel dontchya know!
