Everybody needs a bit of 'funkstille' or 'radio silence' in their life from time to time, and what better way to switch off to the outside world than with a cheeky glass of Grüner. This Grüner Veltliner is grown sustainably in Weinviertel in the Niederösterreich region, using their own fertiliser made from grape skins, manure and straw from their fields. 

Juicy, fresh and fruit driven, with abudant blackberries and spice. Great with a hearty stew with root veg yet perfectly delicious on its own.
