Emil Bauer Roter Veltliner

Emil Bauer Roter VeltlinerEmil Bauer Roter Veltliner is a dry white wine made from Roter Veltliner, a unique, old Austrian grape with pink skinned berries that produces aromatic, textured wines with spice and fruit richness. This wine shows an enticing nose of fresh herbs, ripe stone fruit and subtle floral notes, evolving into a palate of apricot, white peach, gentle spice and a lingering savoury complexity, balanced by crisp acidity and minerality. It works well with pork

The result offers complex aromas of raisins

polished oak and confident

While some producers in England will tend to fall back on Chardonnay

On the palate it is fresh and energetic with yellow plum and grapefruit rind

diverging from the standard approach in Ribera del Duero of adding whatever was necessary

honeyed apricot and pineapple

pear and apricot that makes a great-value aperitif and a perfect accompaniment to tapas

Lauzet and Courbu grape varietals

In such a beautifully remote area of Italy

apricot and white nectarine and the palate continues with minerality and a hint of almonds

crisp acidity and notes of roasted coffee

offering creamy orchard fruit balanced by lively citrus acidity and minerality
