Burn Cottage Riesling Gruner Veltliner 2020
The Burn Cottage Riesling Gruner Veltliner 2020 is a unique blend of two aromatic white varieties, co-fermented with minimal intervention to showcase their expressive character. The grapes were carefully handpicked and foot-crushed, with the Riesling fermented as whole bunches and the Gruner Veltliner fully destemmed. After fermentation, the wine was aged in a combination of stainless steel barrels and neutral oak barriques for 11 months.
On the nose, the wine offers aromas of white peach, jasmine, and lime, enriched with hints of white pepper and fresh ginger. The palate is full-bodied and expressive, with a subtle chalky texture from the skin contact during pre-fermentation.
This vibrant and aromatic wine pairs well with spicy Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, or creamy cheeses.
