The 2025 Linear Grüner Veltliner is a vibrant Australian white showing green apple, pear and lemon alongside white flowers, fresh herbs and a distinctive white-pepper character. Its bright fruit profile is balanced by lively acidity, while subtle mineral and saline nuances add depth and freshness. The wine has an aromatic, energetic style that remains clean and focused through the palate.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and finely textured, with crisp acidity supporting layers of green apple, pear, citrus and delicate stone fruit. Lemon zest and fresh herbs are complemented by gentle white-pepper spice, while a fine mineral character adds tension and length. The texture is refreshing but not overly lean, with subtle savoury notes developing through the mid-palate. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, leaving lingering citrus, orchard fruit, pepper and saline notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Grüner Veltliner drinkers who enjoy fresh, aromatic whites with lively acidity, subtle peppery spice and a savoury edge. It is approachable when young and particularly versatile with food. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Serve chilled with salt-and-pepper squid, grilled asparagus with herb butter, pork schnitzel with lemon, green-lipped mussels, Vietnamese rice-paper rolls, or fresh vegetable and herb salads.
