Bründlmayer Lamm Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC Reserve

Kamptal DAC, Austria

The definitive expression of Grüner Veltliner's greatest site — the Lamm's loess-over-gneiss produces GrüVe of extraordinary weight, complexity, and mineral precision. Green apple, white pepper (Veltliner's signature), lime blossom, fennel, and a precise mineral backbone. Fermented and aged in large old casks, 12 months on lees. An Austrian treasure for 10–20 years of ageing.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The classic Austrian pairing — Grüner Veltliner's peppery freshness and mineral acidity is the definitive companion to Schnitzel; lingonberry bridges the wine's fresh fruit note.
• main: Grüner Veltliner's herbal-pepper note and citrus freshness is considered the world's finest companion to white asparagus; the hollandaise's richness is cut perfectly by the wine's acidity.
