Hugl/Wimmer Grüner Veltliner Classic

A typical Lower Austrian wine with a clear profile: The Grüner Veltliner Classic from Hugl/Wimmer shows what this grape variety is all about — without any detours.

The Hugl/Wimmer winery operates within the Lower Austrian winemaking tradition and focuses on uncomplicated, single-varietal production for its Classic wine: gentle pressing, controlled cooling, fermentation and aging exclusively in stainless steel tanks. No oak, no distractions—the grape variety takes center stage. The 2016 vintage received a gold medal at the AWC Vienna.

In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow. The nose is clearly typical of Grüner Veltliner: white pepper, a hint of grapefruit, and some stone fruit. On the palate, it is juicy with noticeable, fresh acidity, medium body, and the characteristic peppery finish that makes a Grüner Veltliner Classic so appealing.

Serving suggestion: Well chilled at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Wiener Schnitzel, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, baked fish, or spicy Liptauer cheese spread. Also a great choice as a simple aperitif. Drink now.
