New to Grüner? Here it is in three lines.

  • Say it: GROO-ner VELT-lee-ner. Or just “Grüner”.
  • Tastes like: if you enjoy Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, start here. Crisp citrus, fresh herbs and a pinch of white pepper.
  • Drink it with: laksa, dumplings, Thai, schnitzel, oysters and sashimi. It loves a bit of chilli.

Austria’s signature white grape, from the Maurer family in Röschitz.

Case deal: buy 6, save 10%. Buy 12, save 15%.

The Maurer family from Röschitz have made wines for generations: unmistakable mineral and authentic wines. Röschitz is a great area for white wines with low annual rainfall of only 300ml. This proves to be an advantage for growing quality grapes where it is possible to produce elegant wine with delicious minerality

Delicate golden yellow with good fruit on nose. Herbaceous with black pepper. Mineral notes Delicious wine. Screw Cap

Producer

Weingut Leo Maurer is a fourth-generation family estate in Röschitz at the foot of the Manhartsberg in Austria's Weinviertel, run by Leo Maurer since the early 2000s with his parents Alfred and Maria helping in the vineyards. Thirteen hectares of primary-rock sites (Reipersberg, Stoitzenberg, Himmelreich, Haidweingärten, Mühlberg) are hand-harvested with restricted yields, the focus being Grüner Veltliner alongside Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. Falstaff's 2020/21 guide listed the estate among Austria's best wineries.
