Weinrieder Grüner Veltliner 2022
A bright and peppery Grüner Veltliner with citrus, orchard fruit, and classic herbal spice. Fresh, versatile, and unmistakably Austrian.
From the heart of Austria’s Weinviertel, the country’s largest and most traditional Grüner Veltliner region, Weinrieder has built a reputation for precision and purity in its white wines.
The 2022 Grüner Veltliner is a textbook expression of Austria’s flagship grape: crisp citrus and orchard fruit aromas layered with subtle herbal notes and the variety’s hallmark white pepper spice.
Dry, refreshing, and mineral-driven, it reflects both the distinctive terroir of the Weinviertel and Weinrieder’s commitment to elegant, food-friendly wines that showcase regional heritage at its best.

2022Weinrieder Grüner Veltliner 2022 comes from Austria, where Grüner Veltliner remains the country’s signature white grape and one of Europe’s most food-friendly wine styles. The grape’s appeal lies in its combination of crisp fruit, white pepper-like spice, and enough palate texture to make it more versatile than simpler citrus-led whites.
In a wine like this, the goal is typically to preserve Grüner’s freshness and varietal clarity rather than burden it with oak or excess richness. The 2022 vintage profile allows the wine to show ripe but well-defined fruit, while the grape’s naturally savoury edge gives it a distinctive, gastronomic quality.
A dry, light- to medium-bodied white with crisp acidity, bright orchard fruit, and the grape’s characteristic peppery, herbal nuance. It is fresh, but not thin, and carries a little more texture than many simple white wines.
