Grappa Veltliner

Veltliner, better known in Austria as Grüner Veltliner, has been cultivated since Roman times. It thrives on meagre as well as on

nutrient-rich soils, but requires a sunny autumn at the end of ripening to unfold its full aroma potential. In South Tyrol, the wine-

growers of the Eisacktal have specialized in its cultivation and produce wines of fruity spiciness, with hints of pepper, reminiscent

of wild flowers and meadow herbs in the nose. These complex aromata make the Grappa Veltliner from Zu Plun a particularly

interesting distillate. The pomace for this speciality also come from the Eisacktal, from vineyards around the Neustift Monastery.
