Grüner Veltliner Heideboden 2016

The Grüner Veltliner is without doubt the most famous Austrian grape variety. While having been cultivated for centuries, skillful vinyardists and winemakers nowadays prove over and over that its wines can easily be compared to the worlds very best whites. Grüner Veltliner wines from Lake Neusiedl are usually very aromatic and fruity with an elegant bouquet as well as full-bodied but not opulent. Depending on the vintage, gracile fruitiness or more intense aromatics dominate. The wines are however always very palatable, with a mild acidity.

Tasting notes

The Grüner Veltliner Heideboden shows a juvenile bright yellow colour. Its nose is reminiscent of green apples and spicy flavours. On the palate there are hints of pepper and it shows a well balanced harmonic overall appearance.

Food suggestion

The wine lends itself as a companion for cold hors d’oeuvre and is just right for traditional Austrian cooking.

Ageing potential
