Grüner Veltliner

Images for Grüner Veltliner

Grüner Veltliner is a white grape variety grown primarily in Austria and known for producing crisp, refreshing wines with a range of aromas and flavours. Grüner Veltliner is often compared to Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling due to its ability to express the terroir and the winemaking style of the region.


Grüner Veltliner typically has aromas of green apple, citrus, and white pepper, with some varieties displaying a hint of minerality. On the palate, Grüner Veltliner can have a range of flavours, from crisp citrus fruits to stone fruits such as peach and apricot, with a lively acidity and a subtle hint of spice.


Grüner Veltliner is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, salads, and vegetable dishes. The wine's crisp acidity and mineral character make it a perfect match for spicy cuisine, especially Asian dishes such as sushi and Thai curries.

Grüner Veltliner can be enjoyed young, with a bright and refreshing character, or aged for a few years, developing a richer, more complex flavour profile. Austrian Grüner Veltliner wines are considered the best and most expressive, with some of the finest examples coming from the regions of Wachau, Kamptal, and Kremstal
