This Austrian wine (my first ever wine from Austria) is a very light yellow/green in the glass, served at 10°C.
On the nose I get a ton of green apple, the sour cooking variety, followed by the sweetness of apple blossoms and other floral notes. There is also a bit of a raw green veggie flavor on the nose, maybe peas or green beans right off the vine.
The taste is very citrus, followed by apples; very juicy and fruity. There is a mineral component that is present intermittently along the palate and down the throat...it reminds me in a way of the smell of cold wet rocks right after a rainstorm...kind of out there, i know, but I its what came to mind.

Interesting to be sure, but not brilliant in any aspect. Serve chilled for optimal flavor. Very nice on a warm afternoon.
