Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of pear juice, saran wrap, lemon zest, and white flowers with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a refreshing, medium-length finish with notes of browned pear, apple skins, wilting flowers, and sesame oil. A nice white wine for any occasion.

Gruner Veltliner is a dry white wine made in Austria and the Alto Adige region of Italy from the eponymous grape. Grüner Veltliner is an aromatic wine, with perfumes of peach, nectarine and honey; acidity is very good and there is often a distinct minerality in the finish. The best versions are usually unoaked and are sleek, intriguing white wines that age well (sometimes for as long as a decade) and have become a favorite with sommeliers, as they pair well with a wide array of foods, from crab and mussels to sushi, Thai and fusion cuisine and even roast pork or veal.
