(at Majestic Winter 2019 tasting, 21 Oct 2019)
Drinking Window: 2019 - 2020
Sales of Austrian and German wines are booming at Majestic, and it has expanded its range to include this appealing Grüner. For a tighter, more mineral expression of the grape, try the Weingärten Weissenkirchen Federspiel, at just £1 more per bottle. This one may be less complex, but it's super-drinkable now, and more expressive, with lively, peppery crispness, and juicy stone fruit. A ripe and crowd-pleasing style of an Austrian classic.
