April 11, 2016 - A day 2 note.
Light gold in the glass, with a focused nose that is more about minerality than fruit.
Light- to medium-bodied on the palate, decent acidity, with a honeyed note as well. Very likable, although at least here in the states, the QPR is questionable.976 views

As I think we discussed briefly on Sunday, regions like Austria/Styria and Switzerland are difficult from the QPR perspective because local demand for the wines is so strong that there is little reason for winemakers to discount their product for an export market.
So probably not a wine I would buy regularly given the price, but it was cool to try it.
