The 2023 Ossa Grüner Veltliner is a distinctive cool-climate white wine that showcases the freshness and aromatic complexity of Austria’s signature grape variety in an Australian setting. Bright and expressive, the wine opens with aromas of green pear, lime zest and white peach, complemented by hints of white pepper, fresh herbs and delicate floral notes that are characteristic of Grüner Veltliner.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus, crisp apple and orchard fruit are layered with subtle spice and a gentle mineral edge, creating a wine that is both refreshing and complex. The finish is clean, dry and persistent, with lingering citrus and savoury notes adding depth and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore something beyond traditional Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Its bright acidity, subtle spice and food-friendly structure make it a fantastic match for fresh seafood, grilled prawns, Asian-inspired dishes, roast pork and vegetable-based cuisine. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its freshness and vibrant fruit character are at their peak.
