Taste: a dry white wine from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Grown in fossil-rich glacial soils that mirror alpine Austrian climates, it features bright notes of peach, Amalfi lemon, and anise plus a touch of flint fill out the well-structured palate of this concentrated but only medium-bodied gruner veltliner. Long, wet-stone finish with fantastic drive.

James Suckling 94 pts. Winemaker won Best Woman Winemaker 2014. Pennsylvania proving ground for Austrian greatness.
