Wine Wednesday-Let’s Try a Gruner Veltliner!

Posted on June 1, 2022

Here is a new wine I have recently discovered.  It is called Gruner Veltliner.  What is it you ask?  I am not sure so let’s find out.

The other day I saw there was a food truck rodeo not too far from home so I decided to go.  My truck of choice was called Mr. Cheesesteak.   I don’t remember the last time I had a cheesesteak so decided to get a cheesesteak sandwich.  As luck would have it there was a wine and beer shop right beside the event so I decided to check it out.  I bought a bottle of Gruner Veltliner.  

Just what is Gruner Veltliner?  Gruner Veltliner is a white grape most widely known in Austria.  It is a dry white wine.

I looked up how to pronounce Gruner Veltliner, and it is in the YouTube video below.  One site said some folks just say “Gruner” to avoid mispronunciation.

 

According to the Wine Folly Site…

“The primary fruit flavors in Grüner Veltliner are lime, lemon, and grapefruit. There is also a green and herbaceous flavor that is often described as white pepper.”

 
The wine tasting notes for the Gruner Veltliner include, according to Wine Folly…Lime, lemon grapefruit, nectarine, white pepper, iris, green bean, radish, lovage, tarragon, ginger, and honey.  If the wine is aged in oak it may also include flavors of brazil nut, cream, and wax pepper.  That is a lot of flavors.
I was looking over the best food pairings for Gruner wine and steak is not on the list although I did enjoy the wine with the cheesesteak sandwich I bought.  If you want to see the food pairings suggested by

Wine Folly here is the link.

I did really enjoy this wine.  I am surprised that I did now reading about it because I don’t typically enjoy wines that have a strong citrus flavor.  I would like to get another bottle of Gruner for my wine rack but I know it would stay there long:-)
Happy Wine Sipping Everyone!
