Frühroter Veltliner
Frühroter Veltliner is an old Austrian white grape, also known in some contexts as Malvasier. Despite the name, it is not a form of Grüner Veltliner; it is generally described as a crossing of Roter Veltliner and Silvaner.The variety ripens early and typically produces mild, dry white wines with gentle fruit, moderate acidity and a soft, easy-going profile. It is now relatively rare, but it remains an interesting part of Austria's diverse grape heritage.
