Krispel Grauburgunder Hochstrandl Vulkanland Steiermark DAC 2020 (75cl)

A white wine from Austria's Vulkanland Steiermark, made from Pinot Gris under its Austrian name, Grauburgunder. Krispel makes both this fuller style and a leaner Chardonnay from vineyards in the region. The volcanic soils of Vulkanland Steiermark usually give this wine a fuller body and riper pear fruit than the Chardonnay from the same area. It pairs naturally with richer seafood or poultry dishes, and works well as a slightly unusual but easy-to-explain gift. Typically shows ripe pear and apple with a touch of spice, a fuller body and a soft, rounded finish.
