Norbert Schmelzer, Gruner Veltliner Classic 2025 White

Norbert Schmelzer’s Grüner Veltliner Classic 2025 offers a fresh, lively expression of Austria’s signature white grape at an exceptionally attractive price. Awarded gold at the Berliner Wein Trophy, it combines generous fruit, vibrant acidity and the distinctive herbal, peppery character that has made Grüner Veltliner a favourite on restaurant wine lists around the world.

Tasting Notes
Bright and refreshing in the glass, this Grüner Veltliner opens with expressive aromas of ripe grapefruit, wild peach and gooseberry, complemented by hints of fresh herbs, limestone and white pepper. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, with ripe citrus and stone-fruit flavours carried by lively acidity. Herbal, mineral and subtly peppery notes return on the finish, adding freshness and definition. This is an approachable wine designed to be enjoyed in its youth, when its vibrant fruit and crisp, refreshing character are at their most expressive. It should drink well over the next few years when stored properly.

Production
The vines are planted in the cooler sites of Burgenland, where fertile, water-retentive soils help preserve freshness during the growing season. A calcareous subsoil contributes mineral character, while the site conditions encourage the ripe, fruit-driven style found in the finished wine. Specific harvesting and vinification methods have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. It is a natural partner for Wiener schnitzel, grilled or pan-fried fish and roast chicken, while its lively freshness also makes it an excellent aperitif. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving or pour into a wine glass to let the aromas develop.

Producer
Norbert Schmelzer is based in Gols, in the heart of the Neusiedlersee wine area in Burgenland. The winery is led by Norbert Schmelzer together with two of his cousins, forming a close-knit winemaking team focused on showcasing the distinctive fruitiness of vineyards around Gols. Their Grüner Veltliner Classic 2025 was awarded gold at the Berliner Wein Trophy.
