OPPENAUER GRUNER VELTLINER 2021 ORGANIC

Weingut Oppenauer is committed to making wines that bring people together, and one of the best ways to achieve thier goal, is to make affordable wine. They were the first winery in the village of Poysdorf in the Weinviertal to convert to organic farming. In 2003, Rainer Oppenauer's father decided to convert all their land to organic farming, including the 85ha dedicated to other crops like wheat, rye, spelt, and fruit trees. The farm has been in the family for over 200 years, though it wasn't until the 1950s when they first started bottling wine with the Oppenauer name. The Oppenauer family wants their work to go beyond organics and encompass a larger notion of ecology, from making their own compost right down to the grapeseed oil that they’ve been producing since 2010.

Oppenauer's Grüner Veltliner is a bright and vibrant wine with pure aromatics and an energetic palate. Intense lemon color with green reflections, lovel aromas of ripe apples with an herbal undertone and a broad, fruit-filled palate that leads into a lovely spicy finish. There is a little residual CO2 when the wine is first opened, though it quickly dissipates. Enjoy with fried pork cutlets served with pickles and noodles.
