Lenz Moser and Markus Huber are brilliant Austrian winemakers, and friends for 20 years, who have partnered up to make this cheerful and approachable Gruner Veltliner specifically for the export market, where the variety still struggles against an unsavory reputation as cheap jug wine. With fifteen vineyards to draw from, the New Chapter is intended to be dependably fresh and vibrant, with a sturdy mineral backbone. Aromas begin with grapefruit and white pepper, white flowers and green apples and a flinty touch of reduction. Extensive lees stirring gives the wine a rich texture like a prism for the acidity to shine through. Flavors or peach and pear and honeydew melon show through before a dash of white pepper hits the finish. An excellent match for creamy potato dishes, Indian curry, or charcuterie.
