Grüner Veltliner Ried Kreuzberg Federspiel 2023

This Grüner Veltliner from Ried Kreuzberg presents distinctive aromas of Chinese pear, white pepper, and delicate notes of dried herbs, with a hint of tropical fruits. The medium-bodied wine is balanced by lively acidity, leading to a juicy and spicy finish. It stands as a classic example of Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau, delivering freshness and elegance in every sip. The Federspiel designation, inspired by medieval falconry, reflects the wine’s refined and graceful style.

Best enjoyed well chilled, it pairs wonderfully with traditional Austrian dishes such as roasted kidneys or chicken, and Mediterranean cuisine like spaghetti alle vongole or branzino baked in a salt crust. Its structure also complements Far Eastern dishes such as Vietnamese Ca Kho To (braised and caramelized fish). For maximum freshness, enjoy within the first three years after bottling.
