What it pairs with

  • Wiener Schnitzel
    The classic Veltliner-Schnitzel pairing; the wine's pepper and acidity balance the fried meat.
  • Grilled pike fillet
    Medium body and mineral freshness match the Danube river fish.
  • Spring vegetables with herb oil
    The herbal-pepper notes complement a spring vegetable platter.
