White Mischief, our exciting New World version of Gruner Veltliner, is back with the new 2021 vintage release. Last year's version received numerous awards, including Wine of Show at the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show. Now try this exciting new vintage! This New World style gives free range to the exuberant aromatics that this exciting variety has the potential to produce. The nose is bursting with enticing tropical and citrus aromatics and the palate is a vibrant tumble of guava, pear and ruby-grapefruit. This is all held together with an explosive mineral twist and the all-important textural rub. Perfect with all Asian cuisine, all white meats, vegetarian dishes, seafood, and soft cheeses.
Gruner Veltliner is a variety that ages well and this wine should develop splendidly for between 7 - 10 years.
At Hahndorf Hill we are passionate about Austrian varieties and are pioneering Gruner Veltliner, Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt and St Laurent in Australia.
It is our familiarity with Blaufrankisch, which has grown at Hahndorf Hill for over 25 years, that led us ultimately to its exciting white counterpart - Gruner Veltliner.
Having been unable to source Gruner plant material in Australia, we managed in 2006 to import three different clones directly from Austria, and again in 2009 a further three clones/clonal selections from Austria, all of which passed successfully through the Australian quarantine system.
In 2010 we released our debut vintage - which we affectionately named Gru. This was the first production of Gruner in South Australia (and the second within Australia, the first being Lark Hill from the Canberra wine region in 2009).

"Small bunches started the ball rolling for a wine with an excellent mouthfeel and a faint white pepper varietal marker. The length and drive on the finish give the wine serious gravitas. Attention to vinification detail is its own reward."
92 Point Rated - Stuart Knox The Real Review
"A light-yellow hue with a green tinge at the rim. Passionfruit and lemon balm aromatics. Good concentration of fruit on entry giving a sense of medium-bodied weight, with both bright acidity and a hint of phenolics to match it. A lovely length with a savoury dryness at the finish"
