Gru...what? Just call it Gru-vee!
Jules Taylor Gruner Veltliner
- Gru...what? We just call it "Gru-vee" for short!
- A grape variety native to Austria, now being planted by a few clever winemakers in NZ (like Jules)
- "Imagine the illegitimate lovechild of Riesling and Pinot Gris – what’s not to love?" (Jules Taylor)
- If you're gettin' gru-vee at dinner time this is a style that pairs oh so well with fresh seafood!

Gru-what? It’s Gruner Veltliner (grew-ner velt-lee-ner) but you can call it Gru-vee for short.
Gru-vee’s a grape native to Austria but in the last few years a few NZ winemakers have started dabbling with the variety. Jules first planted this one back in 2010 and just a couple of years later caught the eye of UK wine scribbler Matthew Jukes who called it “the finest non-Austrian Gruner I have tried to date.”
A medium bodied, dry white that in her own words Jules describes as “the illegitimate lovechild of Riesling and Pinot Gris – what’s not to love?”
Given a sweet as write up by Master of Wine Bob Campbell too who scored it 91/100 and called it a “Bright, vibrant white with good weight and richness”.
If you’re gettin’ gru-vee at dinner time, this is a style that pairs oh so well with fresh seafood. There are some out there that reckon Gruner’s a better match to fresh oysters than Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc – shhh, we didn’t just say that!
