90 POINTS – BEST BUY
Les Hauts de Lagarde Bordeaux Blanc is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon. Aromas of white peach, lemon and honeysuckle, draw you into the wine’s perfect balance of acidity and mineralogy with clean bracing citrus and honeydew. Great on its own and paired with vegetable platters, cheese, oysters, appetizers and seafood.
The Demeter Certified Biodynamic
Biokult Zweigelt Rosé of the Niederösterreich – Qualitätswein appellation is very appealing as a light and easy to understand rosé. Made of Austria’s most widely grown red grape Zweigelt (pronounced TSVYE-gelt). Zweigelt is a red wine grape originating from a 19th century Austrian crossing of two older varietals, Blaufränkisch and St Laurent.Low residual sugar gives it a very pleasant appeal, and the rose color with slight violet hues is visually alluring.The taste is of light red fruit, strawberry & raspberry, with soft tannins. This is a good food wine, pairing well with pasta, light meals, risottos & cheese.
Demeter Certified Biodynamic Biokult Grüner Veltliner of the Niederösterreich – Qualitätswein appellation is made with 100% Grüner Veltliner. Aromas of lemon, lime and white pepper with a very crisp, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a long, tart nectarine skin and grassy earth with a light white pepper finish. Perfect paired with Asian foods, seafood and salads.
