Winemaker Notes
Delicate fresh green apple fruity aromas, with flavors of lemon, lime and peaches. It has a solid fruit core, rich in finesse, with beautiful length and mineral tones.

The creamy freshness of green pear on the nose also has a hint of lemon peel. The body is light but zesty, easy but bright, fruitdriven but also rather peppery. It is alovely, light offering just made for a sunny evening. Best Buy.
Fun to say and delightfully easy to drink, Grüner Veltliner calls Austria its homeland. While some easily quaffable Grüners come in a one-liter—a convenient size—many high caliber single vineyard bottlings can benefit from cellar aging. Somm Secret—About 75% of the world’s Grüner Veltliner comes from Austria but the variety is gaining ground in other countries, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States.
Bordering Kremstal to its south, the Austrian region of Traisental is a fantastic source of fresh and fruity Gruner Veltliner.
