I may be biased but I really love that wine, the nose is very complex so as is the taste, to be fair I would have difficulties to guess the variety as it is not typical style of GruVe due to Sur Lie vinification, but I very much like that. Feels very adult and structured, like a serious wine to accompany food, rather than the tenage zesty styles from Austria.
