Grüner Veltliner is Austria's flagship wine grape. You may not have tried it, but it is much loved in our house. The palate is very complimentary to Asian dishes, especially Thai, but it should be considered a very versatile wine, with food, as it would match up to a whole host of dishes.
Grab a bottle of this as soon as you can.
