Showcasing the very best from renowned winemaker Manfred Krankl, both 100-Parker-point wines in this lot are ready to drink but will still improve if cellared for 10-15 years. Of the 24-month aged Aperta (a blend of 38% Chardonnay, 25% Viognier, 22% Roussanne, 6% Petit Manseng and 9% Muscat), Krankl said, ‘the more I saw it in barrel on the lees, the better I liked it.’
