Domäne Wachau, Wachau (Niederösterriech, Austria) Grüner Veltliner 2020

Dec 29, 2021

By Wayne Belding

 The steep slopes of the Wachau are noted for exceptional quality Grüner Veltliners.  The 2020 Federspiel bottling from Domäne Wachau is juicy, fresh and bursting with aromas of lemon, lime and green apple fruits underscored by subtle elements of white pepper and lentils.  Grüner Veltliner is a great choice for pairing with vegetable-oriented menus.  The flavors are clean and refreshing with a satisfying textural richness on the palate.  The finish is crisp, dry and lively.  Try this juicy and lively Grüner with your favorite vegetarian cuisine.  Its inherent green characteristics give it an advantage over other wines.  It will be a fine companion for fresh seafood dishes as well.
