What it pairs with
-
Bread with lard and pickled vegetables (Schmalzbrot)
The classic Heurigen accompaniment; the wine's freshness cuts through the lard. -
Cold pork roast with mustard
Light pepper-apple freshness is the natural Wachau pairing for cold roast pork. -
Young cheese with caraway
The wine's freshness and light body suit Austrian caraway cheese.
