Frühroter Veltliner

This early-ripening variety, which by the way is not related to the Grüner Veltliner, is grown in areas north of the Danube and in the Thermenregion, where it produces very early-ripening, round and soft wines with a delicate spicy veil. Because of its rather low acidity, the Frühroter Veltliner is very well suited to producing new wines (vins de primeur), best enjoyed in their youth. Other variations are the more or less dry Spätlese and Auslese wines, in which the relatively high alcohol content provides the appropriate support.
