An internationally acclaimed Noble Grape!
An exclusive Grüner Veltliner vertical tasting, “Austrian Monuments: Four Decades of Great Grüner Veltliner”, was attended by a select panel of journalists and wine experts at the renowned three star restaurant, Le Bernardin, in New York on October 23rd. Organised by the Austrian Wine Marketing Board (AWMB), the tasting panel counted Jancis Robinson MW (Financial Times), David Schildknecht (The Wine Advocate), Aldo Sohm (Le Bernardin) and Terry Theise (Michael Skurnik Wines) among the specialists whose palates were won over by the 31 Austrian top wines spanning vintages from 1971 to 2011.
These wines demonstrated the unique ability of Grüner Veltliner to produce world-class wines from both cool and warm vintages – underscoring yet again that the place of Austria’s showcase variety amongst the international “noble grapes” is ensured.
