Austria's signature white grape, known for bright citrus and stone-fruit flavors with a distinctive peppery, savory edge that sets it apart from fruitier whites. It's usually made bone-dry with crisp acidity, ranging from light everyday styles to age-worthy wines that gain complexity over years in the bottle. Its food-friendly character has made it a go-to choice on restaurant wine lists.
Also known as Green Veltliner, Grüner Muskateller, Weissgipfler.
