Setzer, Grüner Veltliner [1 liter], Weinviertel, Austria, 2023
100% Gruner Veltliner
CRISP ASIAN PEAR & CITRUS, WISPY HERBS, BRIGHT MINERAL
Hailing from Austria’s northeastern extreme, approximately halfway between Vienna and the Czech border, this generously liter-rific darling showcases a leaner, more chiseled side of Grüner than typically does the riper fare reaching us from famed areas like Wagram and the Wachau. Elegantly structured and with a decidedly Chablis-like combination of orchard-ish fruit and minerally intrigue, this is head-turning weeknight tipple.
Serving Suggestions: Cashew chicken w/ stir-fried chow mein & bok choy. Potato pancakes w/ smoked sturgeon, cream cheese, & dill. Artichoke & shallot quiche w/ goat cheese & garlic.
