Steininger Gruner Veltliner Sekt

Alcohol: 13,5%

Grape(s): Gruner Veltliner

Localization: Kamptal, Austria

Tasting notes: Perfectly balanced fruit with mouth-filling bubbles, nutty citrus fruit, rich mid-palate, and a long fresh finish. Not as toasty/yeasty as French Champagne but this wine has the complexity and balance of fine Champagne.

The Domain: The family-run winery Steininger is situated in Langenlois in the Kamptal Valley. Lower Austria is well-known for the Grüner Veltliner and this is also the strength of the winery. Grüner Veltliner represents about 80% of their production. It can be found in different styles, from light summer wine to powerful and voluminous full-bodied wines as well as dessert wines. The Steininger winery is also well known for its sparkling wines which are produced according to the traditional method. Excellent base wines and vigilant second fermentation are the keys to obtaining great sparkling wines. All of the sparklings are single vintage and single varietal and represent their typical varietal characteristics: Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Muskateller, Traminer and Zweigelt in red.
