“Green pear peel and flesh dominate nose and palate and make for a fruit-driven, slender but concentrated white. The melting texture is an added bonus.”

“Richly styled, offering a broad spectrum of ripe apple, green pear and gooseberry flavors, with minerally notes. The finish zings with spice and white pepper details.”

“From this winery, founded in 1452, comes this amazing wine, always ready as a secret weapon for more difficult pairings. This Veltliner is unoaked — as most commonly are — and presents aromas of lime, lemon and white pepper, with some herbal undertones. Veltliners tend to have medium weight and texture, and are never high on sweetness. They also play well with al dente vegetables, like the snow peas.”
