Tegernseerhof Grüner Veltliner Federspiel
A crisp, dry white wine with vibrant green pear, lime, and white pepper notes, perfect with fish and shellfish
Tegernseerhof Grüner Veltliner Federspiel from Wachau, Austria, is a crisp, dry white still wine crafted from Grüner Veltliner grapes. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and aged on fine lees, it offers purity and vibrancy. Aromas of green pear, lime zest, white peach, and a characteristic dash of white pepper lead to a taut, electric palate with lively acidity, subtle herbal complexity, and flinty minerality. A fine lees texture adds depth, culminating in a long, saline, mouth-watering finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, trout, shellfish, spring vegetables, asparagus, or creamy root vegetable gratins.

Vinification
In the winery, grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed with minimal skin contact, preserving freshness and aromatic precision. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the Grüner's crisp varietal character. The wine is aged on fine lees for several months, which adds a subtle creaminess and structure without diminishing vibrancy. No oak is used at any stage, allowing the purity of fruit and the stony terroir to shine through. The finished wine is bottled with minimal intervention, ensuring clarity and precision from vineyard to glass.
