This "DAC” was the better of two possible "DACs”—it rhymes with "flak”—and is a wonderful value for a sleek, clear and lentilly-peppery GrüVe; some phenolic nip, lilacy and apple-y, the graceful finish is the most delicate part of the wine, full of finesse.

Tasting notes

Irresistibly dominated by fresh lime, ginger, and nutmeg, as well as bracingly bright, this represents a very Riesling-like rendition of Austria’s national grape. Hints of lentil and herb emerge in the sappy, clinging finish to help identify the variety of origin. This should continue to give great pleasure for at least the next three years. Also, take note of the beer bottle cap which is very popular in Austria.
