Laurenz V. Friendly Grüner Veltliner Dry

An uncomplicated Grüner Veltliner from Austria that lives up to its name: Friendly stands here for accessibility without compromising on character.

Behind Laurenz V. is an Austrian project that focuses on the country's classic lead grape variety. Grüner Veltliner is at home in Lower Austria – on loess and primary rock soils, which give it its typical spice.

In the glass, the Friendly shows the varietal profile: white pepper, citrus zest, and a hint of green herbs. The acidity is lively but not sharp – the finish dry and pleasantly short. Not a wine that needs a lot of air, but one that convinces immediately after opening.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Wiener Schnitzel, asparagus dishes, goat cheese, or a simple risotto. Also a solid choice as an aperitif on warm evenings.
