Gruner Veltliner is Austria's most widely planted grape and a staple in Eastern Europe, prized for producing dry, spicy, and peppery white wines. This late-ripening variety is well-suited for warmer regions, though it’s sensitive to Black Rot, Downy Mildew, and Powdery Mildew, with moderate susceptibility to Botrytis. Known for its vigorous, upright growth, the Gruner Veltliner grape yields rich, aromatic wines and thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-12.

• Hardiness Zone 6
• Hardiness Zone 7
• Hardiness Zone 8
• Wine
• Grafted Vinifera
• 101-14 Rootstock

Vertical shoot positioned (VSP) training is used primarily for upright-growing cultivators, especially those that benefit from improved exposure to sunlight that minimizes summer fruit rots and/or increases potential wine quality. As compared with Top Wire Cordon (TWC) training, VSP is much more labor-intensive due to the need for summer shoot positioning, leaf removal, and summer (top) hedging. VSP training employ a fruiting wire at 30-36", and usually three sets of catch wires at 10-12" intervals above the fruiting wire. Learn More
