The 2011 Manna is a blend of Riesling (50%), Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Traminer. Manna is the maiden name of Franz’s wife Luisa and this bright wine is dedicated to her in elegance and femininity. The bouquet is deeply redolent of exotic fruit, honeysuckle, white flower, lime and passion fruit. There’s a great amount of aromatic intensity here and it is delivered with just the right measure of intensity and gumption. The wine is never overdone. It feels fresh and very silky on the finish.
