Gruner Veltliner is a variety that defines Austrian wine. Riesling-like in structure, its trademark notes of white pepper, grapefruit and dill make it a perfect match for lightly spiced foods of all types.
This entry example from the historic Stadt Krems winery in the city of Krems is on the money for varietal character and refreshment. While not particularly complex, it delivers plenty of easy-drinking pleasure for a very modest price. It is the wine you want for a mid-week supper of sushi and sashimi.
