Grüner Veltliner
2017
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW
Rarity
Initially reductive with a yeasty background, then followed with fruity fireworks led by Mirabelle plum and yellow peach. Concentrated and expressive with an exotic touch. Oak is quickly integrated. Powerful body, but finely chiseled and defined. Already quite open, exuding sweet fruit and all indications of a great Grüner Veltliner. Salty caramel notes linger on the long finish.

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.
