  June 4, 2016 - Gravner dinner with Mateja Gravner (Jano Restaurant, Wellington, NZ): The winery does not publish the percentages of the international grapes in the Bianco (and it varies across vintages). Mateja mentioned the varieties here: Sauvignon Blanc (35-40%), Pinot Grigio ("provides brilliant colour"), Chardonnay (but, for them, at 15-15.5% alcohol, it pushes up the alcohol of this blend, compared with the Ribollas) and Riesling (only 5-7%). The colour was a more brilliant amber than the Ribollas. A less expressive, nuanced bouquet than the Ribollas. More delicate showing a touch of petrol, straw, autumn leaves and orange peel. On palate, good weight and acidity. Again, a good balance between freshness and maturity. Higher alcohol, more rich, voluptuous mandarin fruit. I liked the wine but found it less interesting and detailed than the Ribollas and wondered if this was due to the more familiar international varieties used.
