What it pairs with
-
Grilled veal chop with green herbs
The wine's pepper and herbal notes echo the herb crust on veal. -
White asparagus with vinaigrette
Classic Austrian pairing; Hochrain Grüner is an elevated expression of the Asparagus-Veltliner partnership. -
Wachau apricot tart (savoury accompaniment)
The region's iconic Marillen (apricots) in a light tart reflect the stone-fruit note in the wine.
History
