WachauGrüner Veltliner Steinwerk 2022

Open and accessible on the nose, intense spice, pink pepper, thyme and fennel; on the palate ripe vineyard peach, quince, wet stones and chalkiness in the aftertaste.

A mild and dry winter was followed by a wet April. The moisture captured by the soil during that time helped carry the vines through the hot summer days. Unfortunately, the weather turned poorly in September. We found ourselves frequently fighting the rains, especially at the beginning of harvest. To our delight, the sun returned as the calendar switched to October, and the grapes enjoyed a slow, ideal ripening. The result: elegant and focused wines of energy and tension that captivate the palate with vibrant acidity, clarity, and concentration.

Served not too cold, this Grüner Veltliner is a versatile accompaniment to various dishes. It harmonizes perfectly with Austrian dishes such as a spicy beef carpaccio, with baked porcini mushrooms or with stuffed veal breast. This Grüner Veltliner also excellently supports Mediterranean cuisine such as Ossobuco, Souvlaki or Cevapcici. It also goes perfectly with a spicy Thai curry with coconut milk or fried beef with Sichuan pepper.
