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.

History

The Stalzer family runs a seasonal Heurigen wine tavern in Spitz alongside the estate. Their Federspiel Grüner Veltliner is poured by the glass at the Heurigen in the warm months.
