So for the last few days I have been up a mountain with a group of buddies in the lovely town of Zell am See in Austria. It has been such fun. I only managed one day on skis, though. I am not a very good skier and I damaged my knee on the first day – not enough to cause real concern but enough to keep me off the slopes yesterday and this morning. This is such a lovely town, on a lake. It’s the perfect size for a few days. The snow has been ideal, too.<\/p>\n

We have drunk quite a bit of beer and wine. Nothing too fancy on the wine front, but we’ve been sticking to Austria and had some nice affordable bottles.<\/p>\n

\nThis was the best wine of the trip, and it wasn’t expensive. Lovely sweet ripe silky black fruits with some spice and cherry fruit – lovely purity here. Sweet, ripe and warm with some subtle herbal notes. Central Otago style? 91\/100<\/p>\n![\"zumathum\"](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/zumathum.jpg\")
\nUmathum Sankt Laurent 2012 Burgenland, Austria<\/strong>
\nI spotted this on the list at Crazy Daisy, and ordered it, but the staff member advised me against it. He said that customers had been complaining. He was right: it is quite unusual, with a bit of reduction. Sweet, warm, ripe berry fruits with a hint of meat and some slightly rubbery spicy reductive notes. Herbs and black cherries. Very distinctive. 90\/100<\/p>\n![\"zblaufrankisch\"](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/zblaufrankisch.jpg\")

\nFresh, vivid red cherry fruit with a hint of leafiness. Generous and fruity with just a touch of pepper spice. 89\/100<\/p>\n
\nJuicy sweet blackberry and cherry fruit. Very rounded and sweetly fruited with a sense of deliciousness to it. Silky and suave. 88\/100<\/p>\n
\nVery bright and focused with some pepper and citrus notes. Lovely lemon and grapefruit with a hint of pepper. Very clean and pure. 88\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
