Sopron winemaking maestro Tamás Várga of Steigler Winery fell in love with Grüner Veltliner during his time at Domäne Wachau. Zöld Veltelini as the variety is known in Hungary is often underrated here.

However, Tamás has shown that it is not only capable of producing great wine, but it is also highly versatile.

He’s produced 7 different variants on the variety – ranging from a fresh, easy drinking wine, through a more premium oaked version to textured one with some oak and a touch of skin contact (Metamorf) - just enough to give structure without making it too tannic.

He’s also blended it with Furmint and Muscat Ottonel to produce a more crowd-pleasing cuvée called Fusion.

Not content with making it into still wine, there’s also a creamy Pet-Nat and an elegant Extra Brut sparkler.


Oh, and a late harvest wine with 90 g/l residual sugar that’s beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity.

All delightful in their own ways
