Ingredients

Description: Grüner Veltliner (the "gru-v" wine) is a traditional Austrian grape that is taking the world by storm with its tasty flavours and food friendliness. It is light to medium bodied, with a smooth, rich mouthfeel and lots of acidity. It is crisp and dry and has fruity and spicy aromas and flavours of peach and white pepper with light floral notes.

Pairing: This Grüner Veltliner has enough body to stand up to the richness of the batter. Its acidity also cuts through the oil of this deep fried dish, and it also balances the acidity of the veggies.<.p>

Wine Suggestion: Winzer Krems Grüner Veltliner 2004 (Austria).
