Steininger Grüner Veltliner Sekt is an Austrian sparkling wine of the highest quality, made from a highly authentic grape variety. What wine connoisseurs have known for years is becoming increasingly well-known to the general public. Austria is a top wine country! Weingut Karl Steininger is located in Langenlois, Austria's fastest-growing wine region. Langenlois is also the largest wine city in the country. The white Gruner Veltliner grape is particularly popular in this region, and it is the winery's primary focus. This grape is so popular that more than half of all the family-run wines are made from this distinctive grape. At the Kittmannsberg vineyard, the careful cultivation of the Grüner Veltliner grape is elevated to an art form. The winery's philosophy is to create wines that showcase the fruit and character of the grape. They prioritize style, revealing the grape's provenance through distinct, proud, and expressive flavors.
The Grüner Veltliner Sekt is made entirely from an authentic Austrian grape variety, the Grüner Veltliner. It is the most widely planted and best-known white wine variety in Austria. Steininger's Sekt is traditionally vinified using the Methode Traditionelle, meaning it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, similar to French Champagnes. This results in a truly top-notch wine. The Sekt has a golden-yellow color and a fresh, vibrant nose. The aroma reveals a broad bouquet of white fruit such as apple, pear, and gooseberry, as well as hints of pepper and green herbs. The palate is perfectly balanced, with a very pure mousse and ripe flavors of white and citrus fruit.
