Birgit Eichinger Ried Gaisberg R 1 2015

Notes from the Winemaker:. Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria, and by far the nation's most widely planted wine grape. As Austria battles its way back to stardom on the international wine market, crisp, spicy Grüner Veltliner has been its flagship wine. The finest Austrian expressions come from vineyards above the Danube River, in Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal. Grüner Veltliner wines pair well with a wide range of foods, with the fresher styles well suited to many salad leaves and vegetables, as well as being mouthwatering aperitifs. The bigger wines combine naturally high acidity and full-bodied texture making them a versatile and exotic alternative to Chardonnay.
