"A more perfumed white with aromas of melon, grape blossom, lime curd and shiso leaves. Fruity and zesty, with a medium body and juicy, creamy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now. Glass stopper."

"From vines up to 40 years old on sandy slate, gravel and limestone soils, the 2022 Gelber Muskateller Sand & Schiefer offers a very clear, pretty intense yet fresh and aromatic Muscat aroma intertwined with elegant and earthy terroir notes. The wine is light but mouth-filling and elegant and provided with stimulating grip and salinity on the well-balanced and aromatic finish. It's a fabulous aperitif wine with just 11.5% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted at the Zieregg in May 2023."
