Grüner Veltliner is a light to medium bodied wine, grown from a grape found most comfortably alongside the Danube River in Austria. There is a fairly wide array of styles produced, some being light and fresh, and some having oak and a fuller body. The flavor profile leans toward just ripe fruit, slight spice and a slightly vegetal component, most affectionately described as lentils and white pepper. The result is fantastic food, wine, and a great pairing for dishes that have vegetables as their main component.
