K1 Grüner Veltliner

Adelaide Hills

Story: Planted in the ancient soils of the K1 Vineyard, Gruner Veltliner has found a new home in the cool southern Adelaide Hills where it produces exceptional white wines that capture both the old-world essence of Austria and the modern vibrancy and clarity of Australia.

Vintage: 2022 Higher than average rainfall over winter followed by a warm and dry spring resulting in even budburst and a textbook start for the vintage. A cool but relatively dry summer gave us beautiful even ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity.   

Nose: Aromas of exotic Nashi pear and spices lift from the glass with hints of apple blossom, citrus rind and celery.

Palate: The palate is led by a crisp acid line with notes of pink lady apple, Nashi pear, lemongrass and lavender followed by a long and elegant mineral finish. 30% of this wine was fermented on skins for 12 days to build texture and complexity.

Pairing: This wine pairs particularly well with Thai Beef salad.

Cellaring: Drink now or to 2026
