We were the first to plant the variety in 2012 and have been pioneering the grape here in Orange, NSW ever since. With our higher elevation and cooler climate, it's the perfect growing conditions for this versatile and aromatic grape.
We now make 2-3 styles of Grüner Veltliner every year varying from light and minerally to rich and full bodied - don't miss them when you visit our Cellar Door!

In 2012 we planted our Grüner Veltliner vines. In 2016 our first Grüner was produced. 4 years of drought followed and it wasn't until 2021 that we were able to produce another vintage.
In 2022 we decided to produce 2 styles,an earlier, more classic Austrian style and a more rounded opulant style which was picked later.
"Grüner Veltliner is an aromatic wine, with perfumes of peach, nectarine and honey; acidity is very good and there is often a distinct minerality in the finish"
