Grüner Veltliner is the great white grape of Austria — grown nowhere else on earth with quite the same success, and producing a style of white wine that is entirely its own: crisp, vibrant, and deeply refreshing, with a character and personality that sets it apart from every other white grape variety in the world. The signature is unmistakable — that distinctive mineral, white pepper finish that is the hallmark of great Grüner Veltliner and the detail that makes sommeliers and wine lovers reach for it again and again. Lentsch is a dedicated Austrian producer bringing real care and precision to this most Austrian of grapes, and the 2024 is a beautiful, immediate expression of everything that makes Grüner Veltliner so compelling: crisp and refreshing from the first sip, with lovely flavours of peach and pear that give the wine a generous, fruit-forward charm, before that characteristic mineral, peppery finish arrives to add complexity, focus, and a wonderful lingering length. Endlessly versatile at the table — brilliant with fish, seafood, Asian cuisine, or simply as the perfect aperitif — and a wine that rewards anyone curious enough to explore beyond the familiar. Austria’s finest white grape at its most joyful and accessible. At £17.49, it is a bottle that will convert anyone who tries it.
