White Veltliner

The white grape variety originates from Austria. It is a mutation of Roter Veltliner. However, different varieties are or were possibly described under this name. The White Veltliner described by Lambert Joseph Leopold Babo (1790-1862) and Johann Metzger (1789-1852) is possibly Rotweißer Veltliner. The ampelographer Franz Xaver Trummer (1800-1858) also described a White Veltliner in his ampelographic work, the identity of which is not clear. In any case, a variety is still cultivated under this name in very small stocks in Austria. In 2016, however, no stocks were reported (Kym Anderson). See also under Veltliner.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
