2009 Grüner Veltliner (1 liter) (Paul D.)

Paul D., Grüner Veltliner, Wagram, Austria, 2009

100% Gruner Veltliner

FRESH APPLE, CREAMY MELON, PINK PEPPERCORN

On a wine buying trip in Austria, Paul Direder stood before us looking barely old enough to drive. He smiled as we sampled his wine and stood nervously with his mother at his side waiting for a reaction. His first vintage was brilliant and he was just 19 years old. The family farm dates back to 1849 and Paul D. carries on the family's agricultural name with none other than Anton Bauer as his mentor. Under his tutelage, Paul (now 20) gives us a bright, fresh tasting Grüner Veltliner in a dry floral style that has crisp acidity and pure drinkability factor. It's also 1 liter (33% more than a regular bottle). You are tasting a rising star in Austrian winemaking.

Serving Suggestion: Perfect beach blanket wine, summer park hangout wine and picnic foods like chicken salad, tuna salad, and egg salad sandwiches.
