"With an bright nose of lemon, lime and white florals, and a flavoursome nose of lemon and white stone fruit, this is a true Gruner with a seamless quality. This is held together with vibrant acidity, bringing its lifted and bright mouthfeel." - Wine House
"The Göttweiger Messwein, or altar wine, has been an institution in this Benedictine monastery for centuries. Grüner Veltliner and rosé (from Pinot Noir) are vinified as light, dry wines. From the nature-friendly cultivation of the vineyards to the care and processing of the grapes and wine, the “Reinheitsgebot”, or purity law, of the church must be obeyed. Messwein cannot be produced without the permission of the bishop, and it must be only natural and unaltered. With its lowish alcohol, Messwein is the lightest wine – very easy and drinkable." - Cellarhand
