Bitter lemon, spiced pear, smoke and flint on the nose. Complex and subtle at the same time. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and a dry, phenolic texture. Offers more on the nose than the palate, but delicious now. From organically grown grapes.

Wiener Schnitzel, (again, the dish, not the restaurant chain,) is so iconic that there are copycat recipes all over the world. For example, in America, there’s the ever-popular chicken-fried steak and in Japan, tonkatsu, a breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet. But you haven’t lived until you savor an authentic dish of Wiener Schnitzel. There are lots of pretenders to the throne but for the real deal, head to Austria. If you do a culinary tour of Europe, put this incredible dish — Wiener Schnitzel — at the top of your bucket list!
Pair one of these great Austrian wines with your Schnitzel tonight!
What makes the wine so compelling is its texture.. so soft and easy to drink, very reminiscent of Pinot Noir, but darker. We love this wine with grilled pork, chicken, brats, or other specialty sausages.

Subtle notes of wild blueberry entice on the nose, with their freshness and slight cinnamon spice. The summer of 2018 adds a plummy richness but the finish remains bright and fresh—a wonderfully honest, vivid and elegant wine.
