Character & context
Understanding Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner ranges from light, brisk wines to concentrated, textured bottlings. White pepper is a useful reference, not a requirement in every bottle. Region, vineyard and ripeness help explain the shift from refreshing everyday wine to a more substantial table companion. Evaluate weight and acidity together.
