What it is

The peppery white: Grüner Veltliner — Austria's signature grape (a third of its vineyards), from the Wachau's stone terraces to Weinviertel's loess — white pepper, green apple and citrus in a glass, in styles from feather-light (Steinfeder) to monumental (Smaragd). Origins: the grape is old (likely Roman-era roots); Austria made it a world wine after its 1980s quality revolution. Made from: Grüner Veltliner grapes, fermented dry in steel or great oak casks. How it's made: 1) Harvest by ripeness grade. 2) Ferment cool. 3) Age on lees for the top wines. Served: with schnitzel (the classic), asparagus, and everything the Heuriger wine taverns pour. Flavor: white pepper, lentil-green freshness, mineral. Strength: 11-13.5%. Culture: the Heuriger (Buschenschank) taverns of Vienna's edges are Austria's happiest institutions.
