Product Description
Grüner Veltliner Kremstal DAC is a ‘Gebietswein’ or regional wine intended to capture the typicity of the Kremstal area. From mainly loess soils on terraced sites near Krems, this modern-styled Grüner Veltliner was vinified in stainless steel tanks and bottled after a short period resting on its fine lees.
Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria and produces a dry white wine with savory aromas, spicy flavors, and good acidity. Grüner Veltliner’s bright acidity and savory character make it an ideal partner to mildly spiced Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese dishes. Fish and shellfish are accented by Grüner Veltliner’s citrus and mineral profile while its acidity cuts the richness of pork or ham. It can also work well with foods that are difficult to pair such as bitter greens and asparagus.

James SucklingA bone-dry, saline and elegant gruner with aromas and flavors of oyster shells, green apples and lime citrus. Crisp and mealy on the palate with a light to medium body followed by a dry, salty finish.
Grüner Veltliner is a white wine grape variety that hails from Austria and is considered the country's signature grape. Known for its versatility and adaptability to different terroirs, Grüner Veltliner produces wines with a unique and refreshing profile. The grape exhibits flavors of green apple, citrus, and white pepper, often accompanied by a characteristic minerality. Grüner Veltliner wines can range from light and crisp to more full-bodied and textured, and they pair exceptionally well with a variety of foods. While Austria is the primary producer, Grüner Veltliner is also grown in other wine regions, including parts of Germany, Hungary, and the United States, where it has gained recognition for its bright acidity and appealing aromatic qualities.
