This week we are heading to Austria to sip some fun, unique, and surprisingly tasty wines. We don't get many wines from Austria, so we knew we had to taste them quickly when they came in the door. Read on to hear what to expect from these excellent wines.
2017 Maria Hick Gelber Muskateller , $24
Grapes: 100% Gelber Muskateller
Tasting Notes: Persistent fresh flower aromas, touches of lemon zest, and an utterly quaffable light, dry palate. This wine is the perfect aperitif for afternoon sunshine!
2019 Meinklang Burgenland Red Blend, $20
Grapes: Blend of Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent & Zweigelt
Tasting Notes: Meinklang is a multifaceted biodynamic farm and winery located in Austria's Neusidlersee region near Lake Neusiedl in eastern Austria. Ripe blackberry dominates the palate and nose of this uncomplicated but delicious red. Bright juiciness leads into a ripe yet electric finish.
