Johann Donabaum is fast becoming very well known in Austria for his fabulous white wines. Despite tiny production, his prices remain very reasonable. This lovely Gruner benefits form a good diurnal range in the Wachau region resulting in a dry, restrained wine with apple and lime characters combined with white pepper and light spicy minerality. Minimal use of sulphur, no oak, light alcohol and a slight residual CO2 ensure this is well balanced and refreshing. Try with light fish or poultry dishes or a goat’s cheese tart.

When you’re dealing with top quality wine, nearly all producers are either certified organic or are at least working with organic principles.The large majority will not use any pesticides or herbicides in the vineyards, or chemicals in the winery other than minimal quantities of sulphur dioxide. The truth is, most would rather spend their valuable time focussing on the contents of the bottle than on additional paperwork required for certification.
Well over 50% of all the wine in the shop is organic, but only those producers who have received official certification have the Organic Wine logo on their label.
