Pitnauer Grüner Veltliner Classic is a textbook Lower Austrian Grüner: light and fruity yet ripe and full, with nicely balanced acidity. Hand-harvested in Göttlesbrunn and fermented slowly and cool in stainless steel to keep its freshness. Selected for Central Wines by Master Sommelier Adam Michocki.
Tasting note
Gentle floral notes with charming pear and apple. A well-balanced palate with gentle acidity and a floral finish.

Intense and fruity, with lemon, lime, apple and pear and the white-pepper spice that is classic for the variety. Dry, crisp and mineral.
