Green Apple Lime Zest Mineral Spice White Flowers

Wiener schnitzel on a Tuesday, and the one-liter bottle opens with a bottle opener, not a corkscrew. Chill it well and drink it young — lime, white pepper, salt.

THE STORY

About this wine

Dry, light-bodied Grüner Veltliner from Barbara Öhlzelt in Kamptal, Austria, with every Grüner vineyard she farms going into one one-liter, crown-capped bottle. Lime zest with green apple, white flowers and flint underneath, white pepper cracking on top — a lean, energetic palate, mouthwatering acidity, a stony mineral backbone, and a crisp, saline, delicately herbal finish.

Barbara Öhlzelt founded her winery in 2004 at the foot of Ried Blauenstein in Kamptal, Austria. Her wines present a lighter, fresher interpretation of the region, emphasizing precision and drinkability.

Worth knowing

One bottle, every vineyard. Grüner Leader gathers all of Barbara Öhlzelt's Grüner Veltliner vineyards in the Kamptal, vines averaging around thirty years among them, and it comes in a one-liter bottle with a crown cap instead of a cork.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Barbara Öhlzelt 'Grüner Leader' Grüner Veltliner 2025

Tasting

Color: White in the glass.
Nose: Lime peel and zest lead, green apple and white flowers follow, and flint with freshly cracked white pepper sits underneath.
Palate: Lean and racy from the first sip, mouthwatering acidity carrying citrus and orchard fruit, a stony mineral backbone holding it all up, and delicate herbs on a crisp, saline finish.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with shellfish and simply seared white fish
A must try with green salads and spring vegetables with vinaigrette
A must try with wiener schnitzel and lightly breaded cutlets
