Grüner Veltliner
/GROO-ner VELT-lee-ner/Grüner Veltliner is Austria's national grape, producing crisp, peppery, highly food-versatile whites. Its signature white-pepper spice, bright citrus, and racy acidity make it superb with a wide range of food, from Austrian schnitzel to spicy Asian dishes. The finest, from the Wachau's terraced slopes, are world-class, age-worthy wines.
