The Rieslings of Austria are brilliantly crisp, mineraled and dry. This lithe, stony example has pretty apricots and meadow flowers on the nose and palates. The vibrancy of its stone fruit resonates in a zesty acidity that finishes deftly with a touch of mineral. Pair easily with white fish enlivened with herbs, shrimp, and sautéed vegetables.
