What it pairs with

With cheese

Mostviertler Schofkas Our pick Light and fresh on both sides. The cheese is a mild, slightly sour, creamy sheep curd, traditionally served with chives, salt and pepper; the Federspiel's white pepper and crisp apple echo that seasoning without weighing on the curd.

How to serve Höllmüller Joching Grüner Veltliner Federspiel

  1. Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
  2. Serve at 8-10°C. Cellar temperature (8-10°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
