Sekt is Austria's version of sparkling wine. It rivals Champagne and comes in at a lower price point. 2013 von der Weissen is incredibly fragrant, yellow fruited but without being rich or opulent. The aroma balances between yellow peach and nectarine and the green herbal character of Grüner. On the palette, a pleasing, ripe citrus character expands as green almond and a slight, pleasant bitterness builds as the wines moves towards the finish. The finish is excellent and long, highlighting a stony rather than chalky or oyster-y type of minerality.
