H&M Hofer Gruner Veltliner 1L

Weingut H. u. M. Hofer is a family winery in Auersthal, in Austria's Weinviertel. Hermann and Maria Hofer run it with their children Julia, Florian and Sebastien; the family has made wine since the early 1980s, farms 30 hectares and also runs a small Heuriger. Skurnik imports the wines to the US.

The estate has been certified organic by Bio-Ernte Austria since 2001 and now farms biodynamically without certification. This liter of Grüner Veltliner comes from estate fruit on cooler loess sites around Auersthal. The grapes are destemmed and given a short maceration, then fermented and aged in stainless steel.

It's crisp, green and varietal, a weeknight white. Look for white pepper, citrus and sorrel.

Against Berger Grüner Veltliner, Hofer is certified-organic estate fruit from the Weinviertel; for an organic house white by the liter, choose Hofer.

Serve it cold with schnitzel, roast chicken, salads or vegetable dishes. The liter holds a third more than a standard bottle.
