The Hahndorf Hill ‘GRU’ Gruner Veltliner 2011 is about to be released. Starting from Tuesday, 4th October, those of you who have registered your interest will receive a priority option to purchase the latest vintage of this exciting, new-wave variety, which we have helped\u00c2\u00a0pioneer in Australia.<\/p>\n

This is the second vintage of HHW Gruner Veltliner and it has all the mineral and textural charm of the previous vintage that resulted in considerable critical acclaim for this wine. Fresh on the nose with enticing aromatics of nashi pear, citrus and spice, it is fine and taut on the palate with citrus, papaya, hints of parsnip and an intriguing spicy, textural tingle on the back palate.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s particularly pleasing to see how the Hills\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 unique terroir of schist soils and cool nights has been reflected in this wine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s freshness, minerality and textural components.
\nThis wine is perfectly paired to a range of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdifficult to match\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 foods which include root vegetables, salad leaves, tomatoes and spicy Asian cuisine. My favourite pairings so far include a parsnip and chestnut soup, raw tomato, tuna sashimi and a pan-grilled pork fillet with citrus, ginger and fresh rocket.<\/p>\n
