Gruner Veltliner Blank Canvas 2015
£17.50
A wine of wonderful and pure aromatics, this Grüner Veltliner shows classic notes of mandarin and ripe peach with an underlying trace of white pepper. The oak featuring in this wine is only obvious if you are told about it – it is there to provide richness and weight to the mid-palate, which is why the producer chose large French oak puncheons to do the job. The result is a well-structured, luscious rendition of an Austrian classic.
With more than a nod to this wine’s Austrian’s heritage, weiner schnitzel is a classic pairing. Smoked trout and an asparagus quiche also pair beautifully. Fresh cheeses like goats cheese, young pecorino or mozzarella are a lovely compliment.
