About this product
Nigl's entry expression of Kremstal Grüner Veltliner — from estate vineyards across the appellation. The quintessential food wine: white pepper, green apple, citrus, and stony minerals with pristine acidity. Fermented in stainless steel; no oak. At 12-13% alcohol, the most versatile food pairing wine in the Austrian portfolio. Exemplifies why Grüner Veltliner is the sommelier's choice for difficult food pairings.

The quintessential Austrian Grüner Veltliner pairing: the wine's white pepper and herb character was designed by nature for asparagus. The morel adds an earthy depth the GV's mineral spine can match; chervil echoes the wine's anise-tinged freshness.

complement
The most classical Austrian pairing: Grüner Veltliner and Wiener Schnitzel. The wine's acidity cuts through the fried breadcrumb coating, lemon amplifies the GV's citrus character, and the white pepper spice bridges the veal and wine. A national institution for good reason.
