Weingut Steininger is a family-run estate located in Langenlois, the heart of Austria’s Kamptal valley. While Karl and Brigitta Steininger built an international reputation for their single-varietal traditional method sparkling wines, Grüner Veltliner remains the centerpiece of their production, taking up around 80% of their estate vineyards. The nose opens with crisp green apple, white peach, and crushed gravel minerality, accented by delicate notes of white pepper, garden herbs, and a touch of garden-fresh complexity. On the palate, it delivers classic Kamptal tension and driving linearity. Fresh citrus, tart rhubarb, and crisp pome fruit flavor profiles are balanced by a fine, flinty streak and invigorating natural acidity.

The query refers to the 2024 Steinschaden Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC, a white wine from the Kamptal region in Austria, produced by the Steinschaden winery. It is characterized by notes of stone fruit, grapefruit, and white pepper, with a lively, mineral finish. The wine is known for its balance, minerality, and crisp acidity, making it a versatile food pairing for shellfish, fish, and lighter meats.
