Pitnauer · Göttlesbrunn, Carnuntum · Austria
Dry white wine · single-vineyard Grüner Veltliner · 75 cl
Pitnauer Ried Hagelsberg is a single-vineyard Grüner Veltliner from gently rolling hilltops in Göttlesbrunn. Chalk in the lower soil layers gives it complexity, the hillside site ripe flavours, and cool winds from the Ellender Wald forest, the Danube and the Brucker Pforte lowlands its bright fruit. Selected for Central Wines by Master Sommelier Adam Michocki.
Tasting note
Refreshing, exotic aromas of white apple, citrus and mango. Robust and full-bodied yet sleek and elegant, with deep flavours, delicate vanilla and meadow herbs, and a long, balanced finish with gentle minerality and refined acidity.
Pair with
Tangy Alpine cheeses or Camembert, spiced grilled vegetables, roast poultry and Wiener Schnitzel.
