🍇 Setzer Ausstich Gruner Veltliner 2023 Dry White is a dry white wine from Austria’s Weinviertel DAC, combining a lively fruit character with the gentle peppery spice associated with this cuvée.

Its fresh character makes it easy to enjoy, while the generous palate gives it enough presence alongside food.
🏡 Weingut Setzer is based in Hohenwarth in Lower Austria. Ausstich has a particular place in the estate’s range: its name means that it stands out, recalling a wine selected for bottling generations ago because of its distinctive fruit. Today the cuvée remains an expression of the estate’s classic, peppery and fruity Weinviertel style. Temperature-controlled fermentation and maturation in stainless steel keep the focus on the grape’s fruit and freshness.
🍏 A pale yellow-green colour with silver highlights introduces orchard fruit, meadow herbs and a bright touch of lime peel. Mineral nuances add definition. The palate has a generous, closely knit texture, with apple flavours, refreshing acidity and a lively fruity finish. Peppery spice gives the wine an extra savoury accent without overwhelming its delicate aromas.
🥂 The 2023 vintage spent six months in a steel tank. Serve Setzer Ausstich Gruner Veltliner 2023 Dry White chilled at 8–10°C in a white-wine glass, allowing it a little time to open as you enjoy your meal. Try it with fish, seafood, light pasta or vegetable dishes. The yellow screwcap makes opening and resealing straightforward. Falstaff’s Peter Moser awarded this vintage 91 points in 2024, recognising its freshness and versatility at the table.
