Karl Steininger’s Kamptal Gruner has been a perennial best buy for bright, zesty Gruner Veltliner perfectly suited for any occasion that requires a refreshing, drinkable white wine!
 
Crisp and harmonious, this shows plenty of bright apple and pear fruit, along with a snappy citrus edge and just a hint of minerality. Gruner’s signature white pepper note makes a brief appearance, too. The long, fruit-filled finish is mouthwatering and begs the taster for another sip. Whether you love Gruner for its amazing food pairing abilities or just need a good porch-sipper, this is a wine worth stocking up on.
 
And how about those awesome food pairing abilities? If you’ve not delved into the possibilities here, let me be the first to remind you – Gruner is one of the most ultra-food-friendly grape varieties on the planet. Tricky vegetables – asparagus and brussel sprouts especially – all love Gruner. In my somewhat humble opinion, its the only grape that universally works with artichokes. Basically, Gruner makes all the vegetables taste better. Everything seafood, too. Lentils and whole grains like quinoa, too, go well with Gruner’s savory edge. Not feeling that healthy? That’s okay...don’t even get me started on how awesome this wine is with all things out of the fryer...chicken, shrimp, fried oysters – you name it! Remember, this is the signature wine of the good folks who invented Wiener Schnitzel!! 
 
All that being said, this is still absolutely terrific paired with just an evening on the porch or Netflix on the couch.
