Lagler Burgberg Federspiel Grüner Veltliner 2024

Alcohol: 12%

Grape(s): 100% Grüner Veltliner

Location: Wachau, Lower Austria, Austria

Tasting Notes: Pale straw yellow with bright green highlights; elegant aromas of green apple, lemon zest and white peach, with the variety's signature white pepper spice and delicate notes of fresh herbs and crushed stone; light- to medium-bodied with a lively, precise acidity and a beautifully clean palate, offering crisp flavors of citrus, pear and subtle minerality, leading to a refreshing, focused and pleasantly lingering finish.

Notes: Classified as a Federspiel — the Wachau's designation for lighter, elegant wines intended for early enjoyment — this Grüner Veltliner from the Burgberg vineyard showcases the finesse and purity that Karl Lagler's estate is celebrated for. The primary loess and gneiss soils of the Burgberg site contribute a distinctive mineral tension and freshness that elevate this wine well above its approachable classification.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with Wiener Schnitzel, grilled trout, vegetable risotto, light pasta dishes, fresh salads and mild soft cheeses. Best enjoyed young and slightly chilled.
