Juicy yellow apple aromas and fine tobacco nuances. The palate shows structure and finesse, with green apple and a mineral undertone. Solid ageing potential.

Grüner Veltliner is ideal for the Austrian kitchen, and goes wonderfully with spicy Far Eastern cuisine as well. We recommend this wine especially for starters, baked foods and Asian dishes. 

The „Göttweiger Berg“ – as it has been known since 1083 A.D. – strongly benefits from the different microclimatic conditions. Here, the vegetation breathes the cool, soft and spicy air from the Dunkelsteiner Woods as well as the warm Pannonian air – all balanced with the natural humidity of the Danube region. There also are several geological differences, ranging from gravel and sand, and loess and loam, to weathered primary rock – all of which bring, along with the various grape varieties, a plethora of characteristics to the wines. This is an ideal site for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The Göttweiger Berg yields medium-bodied wines with in average of 12,5% vol. alcohol. They are matured in steel tanks. 

The bracing freshness of green pear peel mixed with lemon freshness soon yields to a softer fruit note on the nose. Some creamy midpalate texture lends extra weight to this slender wine that charms effortlessly with lemony verve. -A.K.
