White Mischief, our exciting New World version of Gruner Veltliner, is back with the new 2022 vintage release. Last year's version received numerous awards, including Trophy + Gold Medal at the National Wine Show of Australia 2021. 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 citrus, stone fruit and exotic tropical aromatics and the palate is a vibrant tumble of ruby grapefruit, nectarine, mango and guava. This is all balanced with a delicious, juicy acidity and the all-important textural rub. Perfect with all Asian cuisine, all white meats, vegetarian dishes, seafood, and soft cheeses.

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).
