Longview’s Vista Grigio Grüner takes the best of Italy and Austria and blends them together to create a wine that is unabashedly Australian.

Punchy and exciting, the wine jumps out of the glass with freshly picked nettles, spice and pine-lime aromatics. The invigorating palate is all pizazz; upfront sherbet, then spicy poached pear with mouth-watering acidity, finishing with remarkable texture and length. It’s a true crowd-pleaser that is a bright and brisk wine right now but, as we see with Grüner Veltliner, will develop a morish mouth-feel that will take it into more serious territory in time.
