Franz Haas 2001 Manna Bianco di Mitterberg White (Alto Adige)
-
$24
This wine, which takes the family name of Franz Haas’s wife, is an extraordinary blend of 50% Riesling, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Traminer and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. And yet these disparate elements come together into a harmonious, ripe wine, with just a hint of toast from the barrel-fermented Chardonnay. It is powerful, rich and complex.
