Barbara Ohlzelt Gruner Veltliner Leader

Barbara Ohlzelt represents the exciting new wave of Austrian winemaking – female-led, focused on sustainability, and dedicated to letting the vineyard speak through minimal intervention. Her 'Leader' Grüner Veltliner comes from the Kamptal region, where the cool climate and loess soils create the perfect conditions for Austria's signature white grape variety.

This bottle showcases everything that makes Grüner Veltliner special – that distinctive white pepper note, vibrant acidity, and a mineral character that reflects the unique Austrian terroir. Ohlzelt farms her small parcels organically and harvests by hand, focusing on quality over quantity.

The result is a wine with precision and personality that punches well above its weight class. Perfect for those looking to expand beyond the usual white wine suspects or for anyone who appreciates wines with genuine character and sense of place.

It's the kind of bottle that makes you wonder why you don't drink more Austrian wine.
