Grüner Veltliners in full liter bottles are among the best buys for white wine. The village of Engabrunn is in the Austrian district of Kamptal, and the Steinschaden family has tended the vines here for six generations. Although it has the more general Niederösterreich appellation, the fruit for this bottling comes largely from the Brunn Kamptal estate. This 2020 Grüner Veltliner is bright, fresh and lively, with juicy lemon, lime and green apple scents followed by subtle green herb nuances. The flavors are clean and refreshing with a citrusy zest and easy drinkability. Grüner Veltliner is a versatile wine to pair with vegetable dishes thanks to its subtly herbal style. It can pair with your favorite fresh seafood recipes as well.
