Schloss Maissau, a castle (schloss means castle in German) in the region of Northeastern Austria called Weinviertal (VINE-veer-tal, which translates to “Wine Quarter”) is the namesake for a collaboration between the family-owned Gruber-Röschitz Winery and Josef Schuster, a veteran of the wine industry from the town of Maissau who fulfilled a childhood dream when he secured a lease in 2006 to farm the vineyards surrounding the castle. Ten years of work went into getting certified as organic, but now the old vines are really singing. Grüner’s signature green apple, arugula and white pepper flavors are all here, along with the white blossoms and a touch of honey. This is perfect wine to accompany a fruit and cheese plate.
