Grüner Veltliner Ried Sandgrube

So we all have our Grüner Veltliner Ried Sandgrube most of us have the 2011 version and Brit has another vendor with the same wine grapes and year.

Appearance: light, no leggs, slight bubbles

Smell: grapefruit, butter, yeast, lemon, ginger

Taste: grapefruit, lime, mild tasting, very short finish, no after taste, smooth texture, very light and pleasant.  The colder it is the more citrusy it is.

Pairings: salmon stuffed crab meat with as araguus went very well with the wine according to the Swartzwelders, pork also complements the wine according to Brit, pairs well with a sharp cheddar, flavored cheddar also goes well, not good with chocolate though because it highlights the flowery tastes too much.  This is a very simple, light wine.

Brit Scale Ratings:
