Description

JULES TAYLOR
MARLBOROUGH GRÜNER VELTLINER

The best way to describe Grüner Veltliner is as a cool climate wine hailing from the Austrian slopes.
Grüner is like the illegitimate lovechild of Pinot Gris and Riesling – what’s not to love?

Food Match: Grüner Veltliner is a great match for strong flavors and spice so try it with something like sticky pork belly bao buns with hoisin sauce and cucumber and spring onions. Or try prawn and chive dumplings with chili oil and black vinegar. Alternatively it is great when enjoyed with summer salads or char-grilled veggies.

Winemaker’s Notes:

• • Color: Pale straw yellow

  • Nose: Nashi pears and green apples are layered on the nose with lemon blossom and jasmine floral notes, and just a touch of white pepper.

  • Palate: Intense flavours of Granny Smith apples and juicy pears blend with a hint of Grüner’s signature white pepper. Crisp, saline acidity and ripe phenolics combine with a lovely creamy texture from the wild fermented portion to create a structured, complex wine culminating in a long, refreshing finish.
