The rich, light to medium-bodied 2000 Weiss Burgunder Grassnitzberg reveals smoked pear aromas. It boasts a lovely silky texture, a broad apple, mineral, and spice core of fruit, as well as an impressive finish (Tement filled out this wine's finish by allowing it to perform one-third of its malo-lactic fermentation. Most Austrian Weissburgunders have their malos blocked in order to preserve freshness.) Drink it over the next year. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
