Pratsch Gruner Veltliner 23

Weingut Pratch is a tiny gem of an estate with thirteen single vineyard sites on twenty hectares in the Niederösterreich region. Wilhelm, Anneliese, and their son Stephan have been practicing organic farming and winemaking techniques since the early 90s and were among the first in the area to convert entirely to organic production.

Stephan Pratsch was drawn to wine at an early age. By his 15th birthday, the winemaking prodigy became the eighth-generation vigneron at his family's estate. With Stephan running the winery, his parents focused on completing the property's conversion to organic viticulture.

Grüner Veltliner, the national wine of Austria, is prized for its refreshingly zippy acidity, herbaceous, peppery aromatics, and uncanny ability to seamlessly marry into difficult food pairings. The Pratsch Grüner is just that and more. In your glass, vibrant aromas of red and green apples and white flowers jump out of the glass to introduce a zingy palate of lemon, lime, peach, and the classic Grüner note of white pepper. I love the play of mouth-watering acidity with the ripe, lush fruit. If you love your whites crisp and zippy, with nice roundness on the palate -- this Grüner Veltliner is for you!
