“The very slightest touch of honey plays among the citrus notes on the nose. There is a touch of yellow pear but the streamlined palate is guided by a seam of lemon zest, smoke, pear and citrus keep echoing each other beautifully. Will benefit from two to three years of bottle age.."
Karl Steininger is best known for his sparkling wines, or sekt, but this delightful Gru¨ner shows his talent with Austria’s flagship white. Racy and firm, it is searingly dry and vibrant with lime, quince and lemon grass flavors. Its hint of talc shows the minerality of the Kamptal appellation, in Austria’s Lower Danube region. 3 Stars Dave McIntyre, The Washington Post

Our Thoughts on this wine.....
This wine is an exceptional example of Austrian Gru¨ner Veltliner, it features mineralic nuances, shows balance and length, fine bouquet, reinforced by the spice of white pepper.
Gru¨ner Veltliner is an excellent accompaniment to nearly all dishes, because of its spiciness, balance and elegance.? Perfect with grilled meats and fish, fried seafood and sushi, chicken, turkey, pork, vegetables and spicy Asian foods.
The label is inspired by the drawing by famed Architect Steven Holl on a cocktail napkin of the original blue print of the Loisium Museum, cellar world and Spa Hotel. A single vineyard Veltliner with inviting fruit in the nose, exotic notes and fine ripe aroma of apples. The finish is complex and balanced with a long beautiful echo and the traditional white pepper. A fantastic summer white that will age and brighten your cold winter nights!
About Family Steininger….
"Wines are like people, everyone is different!" Karl's favorite saying.
Karl and Brigitta manage the winery together with their daughters, Anna, her husband Peter and Lisa. Karl and Brigitta took over the winery from Karl's parents.
Originally, it was a mixed farm with just a few vineyards. Karl went to school for wine making and Brigitta also grew up at her parents’ winery, where she got to know the daily life of a wine making family.
Together they decided to stop the farming and concentrate only on wine making. Austria is a small wine country. Brigitta and Karl realized that they only can survive on the international market was by making high quality wines. 1989 they started to produce sparkling wine after they had travelled to the Champagne region and Karl spent a number of years studying the technique of making excellent sparkling wine. He believes that the finest sparkling wines are first excellent still wines that are enabled by the second fermentation.
