Salomon Undhof Ried Wachtberg Gruner Veltliner 2020

Salomon Undhof is an important, historic producer in the Kremstal region of Austria, producing world class Grüner Veltliner and Riesling wines from the slopes above the Danube river. Founded in 1792, the Salomon family is now in its eighth and ninth generation working these vineyards, and were among the first Austrian producers to export to the USA in the 1930s.

The Salomon-Undhof Gruner Veltliner “Wachtberg” presents a vibrant and refreshing profile, characterized by its crisp acidity and minerality. On the nose, it reveals aromas of green apple, white pepper, and subtle hints of citrus. The palate is greeted with flavors of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a touch of honey, leading to a clean, lingering finish. This wine is a classic example of Gruner Veltliner’s elegance and versatility.

It’s a perfect match for light salads and Asian dishes, especially those with a slight spice, as its refreshing character balances the heat.
