Description of the wine:
Colour shade
The soft gold, tinted with a light veil, plays with green reflections in the glass bowl.
Fragrances
The opening aromas of the 2017 Grüner Veltliner Riede Steiner Schreck Third Act, pressed using a historic tree press, are slaty, smoky and yeasty in nature. On aeration, notes of vineyard peaches, pears and apricots reveal themselves. They are joined by traces of rose petals, chamomile flowers and a subtle touch of white nougat. A hint of ginger and pronounced herbal notes round off this harmonious and impressive fragrance composition; an exquisite blend, fine and complex, woven in a charming way.
Taste profile
The acidity attacks the palate tactfully, skilfully combined with fruit and body, and stretches across the tongue. Salivation is stimulated and the mind is awakened. Everything appears light as a feather and incredibly delicate, even the moderate alcohol content of just 12 vol%. This Grüner Veltliner is magnificent and delicate, setting completely new standards. The feeling is as if you were shouting 'encore' passionately and from the bottom of your heart after every act.
Food combinations
Instead of cucumber stuffed with avocado, tomato and roasted pistachios, peelings of green apples stuffed with celery and nuts are also suitable. Instead of lukewarm salmon with lime and chilli marinade, consider fried scampi with lemon zest and garlic. To complement the char ceviche on orange and fennel, you could also consider a fish tartare on citrus-melon-fennel salad.
