Vintage Character The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Thal from Hiedler is a vibrant white wine hailing from Austria’s Kamptal region, renowned for its clarity and expressive minerality. The 2022 vintage in Kamptal benefited from a warm, sunny summer tempered by cool nights, producing wines noted for their freshness and precision. This bottling exemplifies the classic Grüner Veltliner profile, opening with aromas of white pepper, crisp green apple, fennel, and delicate citrus blossom.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is lively yet textured, offering flavors of ripe pear, lime zest, and a signature spicy undertone, all supported by a stony mineral backbone. The finish is long and refreshingly dry, making it an excellent match for dishes such as herbed roast chicken, fresh goat cheese, or a classic Niçoise salad. It also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian vegetable stir-fry, highlighting both the wine’s freshness and complexity.
