Tasting notes
Aroma
Super bright and lifted. It pops out of the glass with energetic notes of crisp green apple, white grapefruit, and fresh lime zest, followed immediately by Grüner's signature dusting of spicy white pepper and crushed green lentils.
Palate
Bone-dry, light-bodied, and wildly refreshing. The palate delivers a crunchy, zesty core of citrus and orchard fruit that practically vibrates with electric acidity. It finishes completely clean and savory, leaving a mouthwatering, peppery snap that makes it notoriously perfect for difficult-to-pair foods like asparagus, artichokes, and spicy greens.

Product Description
A vibrant, biodynamic benchmark from Austria's loess soils
Bernhard Ott is so synonymous with Austria's signature white grape that he is universally known in the wine world simply as "Mr. Veltliner."
Taking over his family's estate in 1993 at just 21 years old, he relentlessly elevated the quality of Wagram wines, eventually converting his entire operation to strict biodynamic farming.
The "Am Berg" cuvée is his masterclass in pure, unadulterated refreshment. Sourced from cooler, higher-elevation parcels planted in the region's famous deep loess soils, the 2022 is fermented cleanly in stainless steel to capture the grape's signature snap. It is bone-dry, fiercely energetic, and loaded with the classic white pepper and green orchard fruit that makes Grüner one of the most versatile food wines on the planet. At its highly accessible price point, this isn't just a bottle you buy one of—it's the wine you stock in your fridge by the case for Tuesday nights and weekend seafood feasts.
