Ried Spiegel Vincent Grüner Veltliner
2021
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW
Rarity
A noble, complex, tight bouquet, starting with a hint of tobacco spice, then, still laying in wait, bright fruity partly exotic aromas, fragrant blossom honey and yellow plum with a touch of quince jelly, papaya and pepper that tickles the nose. Bundled and multi-faceted, powerful, creamy and yet marked by cool elegance and balance, a vibrant acidity and extract sweetness. Possesses all the prerequisites for an icon Grüner Veltliner from a first class Kamptal loess vineyard.

- "Leuchtendes Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Feine Tropenfrucht, zart nach Wiesenkräutern, etwas Blütenhonig, Melone und Clementinen klingen an, mit feiner Würze unterlegt. Saftig, gute Komplexität, salzig, extraktsüß nach Mango, facettenreiche Säurestruktur, bleibt gut haften, vielschichtiger Speisenbegleiter, sicheres Reifepotenzial." - Peter Moser

Food pairing recommendation
The Veltliner grapes for the "Kamptal DAC Reserve" style show such versatility, fitting to, for example, a range of exotic foods such as curries and wok dishes. Also ideal are typical Austrian specialties like roast pork, duck or liver, and baked dishes as well. As the wine matures, the range of possibilities grows generously. Cheese, casseroles and strong fish dishes are other fine matches.
