Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria, and by far the nation's most widely planted wine grape. As Austria battles its way back to stardom on the international wine market, crisp, spicy Grüner Veltliner has been its flagship wine. 

Weinviertel DAC – whose name translates as "wine quarter" – is an appellation in Niederösterreich(Lower Austria). It is by far the largest Districtus Austriae Controllatus wine region in Austria.
