Steininger Gruner Veltliner Grand Cru

Notes - Weingut Steininger is an estate owned and run by the Steininger family - Karl, Brigitta and their three daughters Eva, Lisa and Anna. They own 30ha of vineyards in Langenlois, which is Austria's wine capital, about 70km north-west of Vienna and 10km from Krems, north of the Danube. Kamptal (in Lower Austria) is one of Austria's largest wine-growing areas. This is real Grüner Veltliner country. 100% Grüner Veltliner, grapes solely from the 30ha estate. Selected bunches were left on the vine to ripen until late November. The wine was fermented and aged on its lees in large acacia barrels. Brilliant yellow-golden colour, the nose shows extraordinary rich nuances of spice and peaches and pears, on the palate rich, spicy, a full bodied Grüner Veltliner. Enjoy this wine on its own, or with spicy foods, especially those with South-East Asian influences.
