Light Steinfeder or Federspiel Grüner Veltliner from the Schneeweiß estate in the Salzstadl; bright apple-and-pepper character for fresh everyday enjoyment.

What it pairs with

  • Bread and cold cuts
    Light body and freshness suit a simple country platter.
  • Grilled vegetables
    The wine's herbal freshness and light body complement char-grilled summer vegetables.
  • Wachau apricot streusel cake
    The wine's fruit freshness provides a lively contrast to the sweet apricot filling.

History

Schneeweiß's Federspiel Grüner Veltliner is the estate's everyday bottling, made for near-term drinking and sold in part through the Salzstadl wine shop in Weissenkirchen.
