GRÜNER VELTLINER
The signature white wine of Austria. The spectrum of wines is wide, ranging from light-bodied wines with an
attractive tingle of carbon dioxide, often drunk young, to the opulent, rich vintage dry wines with exceptional cellaring potential. The variety is quite recognisable, with a spicy mixture of fruit (mostly apple) and spice (the signature pepper note), supported with lively, integrated acidity. Very ripe styles, such as the Smaragd wines from the Wachau or the Reserve styles The perfect pairing partner to any dish. Ageworthy without the petrolly development of Riesling. For a style reference point, don't think Germany, think Loire, Alsace or Friuli.
