Jager Gruner Veltliner 'Klaus' Federspiel 2020

Roman Jäger works with fruit from the terraced Klaus vineyard in Austria's Wachau region. The setting is exactly as you'd picture in a storybook, with the flowing Danube River below and cascades of green vineyards tumbling towards it. Federspiel is a Wachau term to describe a classic dry wine. The name is connected to the ancient practice of falconry, but for the wine lover's purpose, it signifies a wine of quality right in the center of the regional range. We love that this one bursts with fruit yet offers a tense, mineral backbone. Here's a wine to share with your friends for a long brunch or a seafood meal. They'll love it.
