Tasting Notes
Intense herbality, distinctly mineral and dusted with a fine coat of white pepper, this crisp Grüner is polite, bone dry and delights with animated elegance. A juicy palate such as this plays well with a host of interesting foods - anything light, lean and green or fishy. As well, delicate pan-Asian cuisines, especially elevated with lemongrass, cilantro or basil.

Staff Pick Notes

Erdenlied is a reference to a symphony by Gustav Mahler. The well-known producer behind this wine is Weingut Durnberg of Falkenstein.
Here you have a one liter bottle -- as opposed to the standard 750 ml -- of dry Austrian wine. The aroma on the nose is refreshing, delicate and citrusy. On the palate, the acidity is crisp with a gentle touch of minerality. It is an elegant and dry Gruner perfect with summer food.
Note that the Erdenlied wine label was specially designed for Astor Wines & Spirits. How sweet is this!
