About: Johannes Hirsch's collection of Grüner Veltliners is full of energy and vitality.  Located in the Kamptal winemaking region, they made the switch to organic farming back in the 1970s, and since 2006 have been certified biodynamic via Respekt which is an alternative to Demeter. The Grüner Veltliner is bright and refreshing. Sourced from a collection of organically farmed vineyards in and around the villages of Zöbing and Kammern.  Home to some of the greatest vineyards aka Erste Lagen in Austria: Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, Lamm & Renner.  

Pairing Ideas: a beautiful image of its variety, this GruVe is classic, medium weight with loads of green apples, meadow herbs and white pepper, this stainless steel fermented Grüner is bring and refreshing.   Pairs well with light fish and seafood, or go for Wiener Schnitzel or pork knuckle if a full-on Austrian experience is required. The winemaker recommends to shake the bottle a bit before serving. Certified Organic and certifiably delicious!
