Hubner Gruner Veltline, Alte Setzen (Austria; 2005)

2.5 stars (out of 5)

This was a very interesting taste: it had a burst of Muscat-like syrupiness without the sugar content of a dessert wine. Golden in color, this wine had strong citrus flavors – particularly grapefruit – and worked with both sweet and savory foods. Paired with a mini trio: jumbo lump crab cake, pan-seared scallop with vanilla beurre blanc, and an arugula and frisee salad with goat cheese and walnuts.
