Once you drink Grüner Veltliner, if you haven't already, you'll be reaching for it so often you'll ask, "What white did we drink before we knew about Gruner?"
    Gruner Veltliner is the perfect spring to summer transition wine. While enjoyable throughout the year, the 2014 Schloss Gobelsburg Steinsetz is ideal in warmer weather for it refreshing quality.
    Among the many wonderful attributes of Gruner Veltliner is its ability to pair well with foods you never thought you'd find a wine for. For example, avocado, artichokes, asparagus and every manner of obstreperous veggie, Gruner Veltliner loves them. Need a white wine for a wild mushroom saute? Step right up. Want a wine for a peppery salad with arugula, here you go. Not to mention, the wine is a perfect complement to any Asian or seafood cuisine.
    Schloss Gobelsburg is the oldest winery in the Danube dating back to 1711 and received Winery Of The Year in 2006. The 'Steinsetz' bottling is a classic style showing pure salt and pepper on the palate with young citrus notes, peach kernel and wet stone. The wine is clean and bright with fresh minerality on the palate. It is smooth with a long lingering finish and great acidity. Terrific when drunk young, it is extremely age-worthy. You can easily set it down for ten years allowing it to become rich and weighty without losing its vibrancy. Enjoy! Read Less »
