This is a wine of two worlds: the Chenin Blanc that founder Chris Sciacca has staked his estate on, married to Grüner Veltliner, the signature white grape of his adopted home on the Danube. Fresh, textural and just 11.5% alcohol, it's bottled — like the rest of the range — in a distinctive 500ml format for easy, characterful drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrisp green apple, pear and quince meet a squeeze of citrus and the gentle white-pepper lift that Grüner Veltliner does so well. Light-bodied and mouth-watering, with a saline freshness and a clean, dry finish — a versatile aperitif that's equally happy with salads, fish, or lighter poultry and veg dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of Chenin Blanc and Grüner Veltliner, hand-picked and made with minimal intervention to keep the fruit pure and the wine fresh. 11.5% ABV · 500ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKapitel Zwei — \"Chapter Two\" — is the second act of founder Chris Sciacca. After 25 years in corporate communications, including two decades at IBM, he swapped his suit and keyboard for pruning shears and overalls, went back to university in 2021 for a three-year degree in viticulture and wine business at IMC Krems, and served an apprenticeship at Paumanok Vineyards on New York's Long Island. The name says it all: this is the chapter where a lifelong wine lover finally makes his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe settled in Krems an der Donau, an hour from Vienna, and bought a small, long-abandoned single vineyard — the Kremsleithen, a steep loam-and-clay slope running down to the river Krems that was first recorded in 1266. He replanted it in May 2022 with French varieties — Chenin Blanc, Roussanne and Sémillon — farmed organically and sustainably and destined for ageing in amphora and steel. 2025 is his first vintage, released in tiny quantities and already shipped to drinkers from Austria and England to the USA and South Africa. \"Endlich,\" indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kapitel Zwei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62003598000515,"sku":"KPZ20125","price":26.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/KapitelZweiCheninxGruner.png?v=1787148645","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/kapitel-zwei-endlich-chenin-gruner-2025","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
