Sohm & Kracher Lion Grüner Veltliner 2021 is a distinctive and expressive white wine from Austria, a collaboration between acclaimed sommelier Aldo Sohm and famed winemaker Gerhard Kracher. This partnership brings together two masters of their crafts to create an exceptional Grüner Veltliner that reflects both tradition and innovation. Sourced from premium vineyards, the 2021 vintage embodies the vibrancy and freshness for which Grüner Veltliner is known, with a focus on purity of fruit and a refined mineral character.

Appearance: Pale straw with greenish highlights, reflecting the wine's freshness and youth.

Aroma: The nose is vibrant and aromatic, with classic Grüner Veltliner notes of green apple, lime, and white pepper. There are underlying layers of fresh herbs, grapefruit zest, and subtle floral tones, along with a hint of wet stone minerality that adds complexity.

Taste: Light to medium-bodied, the palate is crisp and lively, delivering fresh flavours of green apple, citrus, and pear, balanced by a zesty acidity. A signature white pepper spice adds character, while the mineral-driven texture provides depth. The wine’s balance between fruit and acidity keeps it refreshing and focused, with a fine, chalky finish that reflects its terroir.

Finish: Long and clean, with lingering citrus, apple, and pepper notes, leaving a bright, mineral-infused finish that is both elegant and refreshing.

Food Pairings: This Grüner Veltliner pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, particularly light seafood like grilled prawns or oysters. It also complements Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, with its crisp acidity cutting through spicy flavours. For a classic Austrian pairing, try it with Wiener Schnitzel or fresh salads with citrus vinaigrette.
