As seen in the Houston Chronicle Wine Section:

There are few things better than sipping back on a high quality, bone-dry Riesling in the Summer heat, but finding a good one without spending $80 is tough. The Austrian’s have the market cornered on them, but they tend to cost a fortune. Producers such as FX Pichler, Hiedler and Nikolaihof are brilliant – but they lack approachability in their youth, and can retail well into the $100’s for the exemplary examples. Marof is a relatively unknown producer in northern Slovenia made by the profound Austrian talent Erich Krutzler. Krutzler is known for making tropically fruit forward interpretations of Riesling and Gruner Veltliner, and his tendency for that fruit profile extends to Marof. His Renski Rizling is bone-dry in the Austrian style, with notes of passion fruit, pineapple, lime, green apple, flint minerals, cleansing acid and a slight effervescence. Citrus notes and layered minerals dominate the lingering finish. Truly a stunning and unusual example of an underrated style.

$35/$30 and $12 by the glass
