Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen is a real benchmark wine from Wachau. The wine offers distinctive aromas of green apple, white pepper, hints of mango and delicate herbal notes. This Federspiel is a classic example of Grüner Veltliner with its medium-body crisp acidity, juicy fruits, and white spice on the finish.
The name Federspiel is derived from falconry which was a very popular leisure time activity among the nobility in medieval times. The falcon stands for the remarkable elegance of these dry white wines.
Serve well chilled. Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen ideally accompanies Austrian cuisine such as a crispy Cordon Bleu or Schnitzel with risipisi or a Tafelspitz (boiled beef) with its classic side dishes (apple horseradish & chive sauce). The wine also goes well with Mediterranean dishes, for example a Saltimbocca or a powerful Paella. Also, for many types of cheese or Far Eastern cuisine such as Vietnamese spring rolls (Goi Cuôn) shine with this Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen.
James Suckling Review:
A medium-bodied gruner veltliner that has fragrant notes of peach, grapefruit and red apple. Crunchy, dry and tasty.
