MEINKLANG



Last weekend my gorgeous friends Malin and Markus (Mrs & Mr) brought me a bottle of the lovely Austrian white wine Meinklang (2007) which I hadn't tried before; it was a dry, spicy and fruity wine, with hints of melon, white pepper and lime. Grapefruit..? A scent of almond..?

The Grüner Veltliner grapes are grown according to biodynamic methods. One can read in several places that it's a very "food-friendly wine" and it's said to be the classic pairing for the otherwise hard-to-pair asparagus.

It was indeed marvelous darlin'..

It's about 79 SEK at Systembolaget. Not bad!
