Tasting Note
Zingy and zesty! Great value wine, with loads of lemon/lime aromas and flavours, and an enticing scent of herbs and light smoke. Lively acidity which makes it a great aperitif wine to whet the palate with juicy mouthfuls, or a good pick for light dishes and with enough body to provide contrast for cream based soups.
Made from 100 % Verdejo grapes from 60 year old vines planted in clayish soil within the terms of La Seca, a small location in the heart of the Denomination of Origen Rueda, Spain.

Tasting Note
Drink outside the box!! Try Gruner, if you like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, then give this not so common Austrian grape a place at your table. Impress your friends with your new European “find”. It’s also affordable to boot!
It’s a lovely crisp light-bodied dry wine, with scents of apples and light minerals (you know, that smell of dusty hot stones – think sauna). Flavours of citrus and yummy melon round out this wine. It’s perfect on it’s own or with light appetizers or as the Austrians do, enjoy it with a Cheese Fondue après ski or skate.
A General List Wine, widely available at LCBO stores.
