Grüner Veltliner Brut - 2017 2017W I N E D E S C R I P T I O NSzigeti (pronounced ZIG-it-ee) began in 1991 when brothers Norbert and Peter Szigeti took overthe family business. Szigeti operates as a négociant, buying fruit from contracted growers andowning no vineyards. A broad range of wines are produced, all by the traditional method, and allmade in fresh style with clear varietal expression.
Szigeti produces wine from contracted growers in Burgenland and Niederösterreich and worksclosely with their partners to obtain grapes explicitly grown to produce quality sparkling wine.The designation "Österreichischer Sekt g.U." (Austrian Sekt with Protected Designation of Origin)applies to the entire production.
Grüner Veltliner Brut is hand-harvested from contracted growers in Burgenland andNiederösterreich. Alcoholic fermentation with Champagne yeasts in stainless steel tanks precedessecond fermentation in bottle and nine months aging en tirage. Riddling is by gyropalette, andthe dosage is with local sweet wine.
T A S T I N G N O T E SSzigeti seeks to produce wines in a fresh style with clear varietal expression. Grüner Veltliner Brutshows notes of green apple and citrus with the savory spiciness typical of the Grüner Veltlinervariety. The wine is crisp and clean tasting on the palate with a lingering dry finish.
F O O D P A I R I N GGrüner Veltliner Brut will accent simply prepared fish and shellfish like the way a squeeze of lemonmight. The citrus character of this wine will highlight the brininess of raw oysters, sushi, or grilledprawns while its acidity and texture perfectly compliment veal schnitzel and fried chicken.
