Little Cricket Gruner Veltliner

Dry, clean and crisp with bright notes of citrus, pear, light green apple and a hint of white pepper. Gruner Veltliner is a white grape variety most commonly grown in Austria, however this is a great little wine from Hungary and is incredibly food friendly.

Nick’s Wednesday Night Sausage Wine:

… “Gruner Veltliner is an attractive white grape which grows primarily in Austria and is also successful in neighbouring Hungary where our sausage wine comes from.  It is a refreshing wine with green apple, slightly spicy white pepper notes, a citrus freshness and is a real food friendly wine.

It will comfortably handle richer foods but is great with sea food and fish. We paired it with garlic and chilli prawns and it went wonderfully well. The Little Cricket has a clean freshness and a slight spiciness to it which balanced nicely with the dish”.
