Veltliner
Veltliner refers to a family of white grape varieties primarily associated with Austria, where they are particularly well-regarded. The most prominent of these is Grüner Veltliner, which is often simply referred to as Veltliner. Grüner Veltliner is the most widely planted white grape variety in Austria and is celebrated for its versatility and distinctive flavor profile.
Grüner Veltliner wines are known for their bright acidity, minerality, and peppery spice. They often exhibit flavors of green apple, lime, and white pepper, with a characteristic hint of herbal or leafy notes. The wine's texture can range from light and crisp to more full-bodied and creamy, depending on the winemaking style and aging process.
The grape thrives in Austria's cool climate and diverse terroirs, producing wines that can vary from fresh and youthful to complex and age-worthy. Grüner Veltliner is also notable for its ability to pair well with a wide range of foods, including seafood, poultry, and dishes with subtle spiciness, such as Asian cuisine.
Other less common Veltliner varieties include Rotgipfler and Zierfandler, which are also grown in Austria and contribute to the country’s diverse wine offerings. These varieties can add additional layers of flavor and complexity to Austria’s wine profile.
