2009 Singing Gruner Veltliner

Gruner Veltliner is often an overlooked wine, but is one of our favorites during the summer months.  The one that we have tried this evening is a 2009 Singing Gruner Veltliner produced by a father-daughter team namely, Laurenz Maria Moser V. and Sophie Marie.  The grape is indigenous to Austria and the winemaker describes the bottle as having “the floral perfume of a German Riesling, the refreshing zip of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc and the lusciousness of a Northern Italian Pinot Grigio.”  I couldn’t agree more as it is a perfect wine to have on a hot summer day in Texas.  I just wish we were in the Austrian Alps right now!  Closest I am going to get to the Austrian Alps is attend the wedding of one of most oldest and dearest friends in New Braunfels tomorrow and there are no mountains in New Braunfels.   We are counting on another bottle of  Singing GV to take some of the heat away.

Salud & Bon Appetit!
