The white grape Roter Veltliner was once the dominant variety on the Wagram. Due to its susceptibility to frost, its cultivation has declined sharply. Today it has the status of a rare speciality, but it can produce remarkably high-quality and long-lasting wines. It gets its name from the slightly reddish color that the berries acquire when fully ripe. Despite the similar name, it is not related to the Grüner Veltliner.
The red Veltliner from the Leth winery has a medium body, good extract, good tension, and a long-lasting finish that is harmonious, grippy and lively. It is suitable for many occasions and is a real enrichment and variety in the glass.
