This 2021 Gruener Veltliner delivers subtle exotic notes, ripe pear, and fresh citrus flavours from Austria's finest vineyards. Sustainably produced by a 16th generation winemaker, this dry white offers complex melon and grapefruit on the palate with a refreshing, zippy finish that showcases the grape's distinctive character.

Funkstille ('radio silence') embodies Austria's archetypal wine style, harvested in cool morning hours to preserve acidity and pure fruit expression. The south-facing vineyards and energy-neutral winery ensure this Gruener reaches its full potential, with careful oak ageing that adds depth without overwhelming its natural vibrancy.

This white is perfect for food lovers seeking authentic Austrian character, ideal alongside chicken, turkey, grilled fish, or fresh salads.

Why It Stands Out

  • Sustainable Viticulture: Natural fertilisers from grape skins and vineyard materials.
  • Traditional Craftsmanship: From a 16th generation Austrian producer.
  • Perfect Ripening: South-facing slopes ensure optimal fruit development.
  • Thoughtful Aging: Mostly in large oak barrels with 10% in barriques.
  • Energy-Neutral Production: Environmentally conscious winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Expect a bright, expressive white with exotic undertones, vibrant pear and citrus notes that lead to a palate rich with melon and grapefruit, finishing with characteristic Gruener zip and freshness.
