Grüner Veltliner 2007
The Grüner Veltliner is without doubt the most famous Austrian wine variety. While it did not have
the best reputation in the past, the developments of the last two decades or so proved that it can be
well compared to the worlds best white wines when skillfully treated in vinyard and wine-cellar.
Grüner Veltliner wines from Lake Neusiedl are normally very aromatic and fruity with an elegant
bouquet and full-bodied but not opulent. Depending on the vintage gracile fruitiness or more intense
aromatics dominate, the wines are however always very palatable with a mild acidity.
Tasting notes: Our Grüner Veltliner 2007 impresses with a noble bouquet, pleasurable peppery
tones and a reminiscence of green apples. It is well structured and spicy on the palate, offering a soft
finish. The wine lends itself as an accompanist for cold hors d'oeuvre and of course for typical
Austrian down-home fare but it is just as brilliant without any food for example as a fresh summer
wine.

F).
