This is the first white
wine I have “enjoyed” from the
recent Lukas haul and I picked
it out today for lunch because…

I KNEW IT WAS DIFFERENT AND
COULDN’T WAIT TO TRY IT.

The first sensation I had was
the whiff after I opened the bottle.

Apple.

After much tasting, the flavor is
neither sweet nor green. Just apple.

Frightfully delicious.

Plenty of acidity for that beloved
and lip smacking tartness.

This is a “lightly filtered” wine.

The top of the bottle is seductively
cloudy. I can’t wait for the dregs.

After drinking this wine, you can wipe
the slate clean and start all over again
trying to describe what you desire in a
white wine.

There might be the most delicate citrus
fruit flavors surfing on the pomace.

Initially I detected a bit of oily/waxiness
but it is not something that lingers.

I am dumbfounded as to how simple, clean and
delicious this wine is.

After reading about this wine and the winemakers,
I feel like royalty.

What a treat to be drinking a wine produced with
such care and dedication.

And from Austria.

There are places on this planet that SHOULD
produce more fine wine and there are places
that should call it a day.

How about their Pinot Noir?

Or the Zweigelt?

Or rosé?

Lest you think that this wine has
left me silly-challenged,
Alexander reminds me of one of
the dudes in ABBA.

The waxiness is still there but is
just perfect to smooth out the acidity
as it goes down the hatch.

Mamma Mia.

Hang in there.
