The Grüner Veltliner 2024 from Weingut Falkenstein in the Weinviertel is a classic Austrian white wine, known for its fresh and zesty character. On opening, aromas of citrus, green apple and a subtle spiciness come to the fore, typical of the Grüner Veltliner grape. The wine has a bright, invigorating acidity that is nicely balanced with the mineral undertones from the region’s chalk-rich soils. On the palate the wine offers a lively sensation, with fruity and spicy layers that unfold elegantly. The finish is long and dry, with a light peppery kick that is characteristic of this grape. This Grüner Veltliner is an excellent companion to light dishes and a fantastic aperitif wine.
Perfect with Wiener schnitzel, fresh salads or grilled vegetables.
