The wine shows hints of ripe yellow apple, white peach, spicy notes of pepper and subtle hints of papaya; the palate is pronounced with a salty character, juicy fruit and lively acidity that complement the long lasting and powerful mouthfeel. The name Federspiel is derived from falconry which was a very popular leisure time activity among the nobility in medieval times. The falcon stands for the remarkable elegance of these dry white wines. Well chilled, it is an ideal accompaniment to classic Austrian cuisine such as pasta ham bake or roasted brains with eggs. It also goes perfectly with Italian antipasti, a Mediterranean shakshuka or more exotic dishes like Paneer Tikka (Indian grilled cream cheese). Vegan.
