About Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner is Austria’s flagship white grape, accounting for nearly a third of the country’s vineyards. Known for its vibrant acidity, citrus and stone fruit profile, and trademark white pepper finish, Grüner is prized for its versatility and food friendliness.
The grape thrives in Niederösterreich, particularly in subregions like Wachau, Kamptal, and Kremstal, where it produces everything from light, zesty wines to full-bodied, age-worthy bottlings. Top-tier examples from steep terraced vineyards rival fine Burgundy in complexity.
Grüner Veltliner is also cultivated in Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and New World regions like Oregon and Australia.
