Kremstal Grüner Veltliner

Grapes were hand-harvested in mid-late October. Fermentation and aging took place in large, stainless steel tanks to maintain purity of fruit. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation. Wines were released eight months following fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Fresh and fruity, with aromas reminiscent of white currant, citrus fruits and "veltliner-pfefferl" or white pepper. The flavors on the palate are consistent with the aromas and the finish is fresh and crisp. A classic Grüner Veltliner from Kremstal, not too heavy but not too light.

Food Pairing

This wine can be enjoyed young with typical Austrian cuisine, but is also versatile enough to accompany Asian cuisines and fresh salads.
