Mayr Gruner Veltliner Kremstal 2023 (1-Liter Bottle)

Winemaker Gerald Malat runs one of Austria’s most ambitious organic programs on his 50-acre Kremstal estate, hand-picking only grapes that meet the stringent Austrian Quality Wine Seal requirements. His big bottles are perfect for everything from hosting friends, family dinners, or bringing as gifts when you want to look like you know something others don’t. This wine delivers crisp mineral freshness, with a slight effervescence that perfectly balances a white pepper spice that you rarely find but that makes Grüner Veltliner so dang food-friendly. The Danube River’s influence creates wild temperature swings that slow ripening and concentrate flavors, resulting in something that tastes like it should cost at least twice as much.
