Great value match for strong flavours and spices, just enough body to hold up to Szechuan cuisine without being too crisp and zingy

The perfect pairing with the hoisin, ginger, rice & sherry vinegar, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, chili sauce, white pepper, Tabasco, Tarmari soy sauce, fresh cilantro and roasted jalapeño Tomahawk Pork Chop. The wine on it's own 9.2 & a 9.4 with the meal. This is a very similar recipe that Mustard's Grill serves in Napa. My facsimile recreation. Pretty damn tasty.

Grapefruit, limes and limestone on the nose. Pink & regular grapefruit, lime, green apples, beautiful green melon, yellow florals, refined, grippy, amazing minerality, perfect acidity and a beautiful long ripe, round, finish. For those of you that haven't jumped on to try Gruner Veltliner, this is one try as the 13 vintage is sensational. Looks like it's also available through Delectable for a decent price. Great on it's own and pairs well with those hard to pair green vegetables...like asparagus etc..

Was hoping for a mineral white to complement grilled Branzino, please no heaviness or cloying qualities, just zesty freshness and juiciness...bingo!

Wonderfully brisk, this was stellar vintage with perfect balance and deeply mineral backbone.

Green olive and nougatine aromatics. Very elegant and lifted. Pea tendrils and legumes. Always a pleasure to drink this wine!
