About this wine
This Wachau Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is dry, focused and medium-bodied, with lively acidity and the grape’s hallmark savoury spice. Juicy orchard fruit and citrus are joined by green apple, white pepper and often a subtle stony note. Ripeness and aromatic detail naturally vary somewhat with the vintage.
