Pale yellow, almost lacking color. Spicey nose with hints of fruit. Fruity entrance, with a herbacious finish. Matched wonderfully with grilled halibut (coated for one hour in olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic and lemon juice) on a bed of long grain rice with a side of steamed asperagus.

I am definitely going to have to try more Austrian wines. And man, the first halibut of year is absolutely wonderful.
