From a screw-capped bottle, the Franz Haas 2021 Manna has crushed flint or struck match on first nose, but that hint of reduction often appears in this blend of 40% Riesling, 20% Chardonnay, 15% Gewürztraminer, 15% Kerner and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. The wine settles into a pretty linear pattern of underripe tropical tones, star fruit, crisp pear and grapefruit. A citrusy-grapefruit note plays a bigger role on the palate, with pithy or pulpy tones that dovetail into a streamlined but very fresh finish. This is an ample release of 50,000 bottles.
