Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener Schnitzel is a classic dish made from thin, breaded veal cutlets that are fried until golden and crispy. The meat is pounded thin, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried in butter or oil, resulting in a tender interior and a crisp, slightly greasy exterior. Typically served with a lemon wedge, this dish has a satisfying crunch and a hint of citrus.

For Wiener Schnitzel, a crispy fried veal dish, a refreshing white wine like Grüner Veltliner is an excellent pairing. The wine's high acidity and citrus notes cut through the richness of the fried breading, while its peppery notes complement the veal's delicate flavor. Alternatively, a light-bodied, acidic red wine like Barbera can also work well, as its bright fruit flavors and tangy acidity balance the dish's greasy texture.
