Wangolina A Series Grüner Veltliner 2023 from Mt Benson is a zesty, coastal take on Austria’s signature white, all white pepper, citrus and crunchy texture in a super drinkable frame. It shows lemon and lime, nashi pear and green apple with a faint herbal, nettly lift on the nose. The palate is light‑medium, dry and snappy, with a pithy twist and a clean, salty finish that screams for food.

In the glass this A Series Gruner Veltliner 2023 feels bright and racy rather than rich, with that classic peppery tingle and a little phenolic grip giving it shape. It’s a brilliant option if you love Sauvignon or Riesling but want something a bit different, especially for warm‑weather drinking.

On the table, reach for schnitzel, fish and chips, grilled whiting, salt‑and‑pepper squid, green salads, lightly spiced Asian dishes and fresh goat’s cheese. It’s also a gun with grilled asparagus, spring vegetables and herby chicken dishes, making it a go‑to fridge white for seafood nights and easy dinners.
