Gruner Veltliner
White wine grape · reported 2009–2025
Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services
Gruner Veltliner is Austria's most planted grape, a peppery, high-acid white. California's record for it begins in 2009 and shows modest, steady growth since: bearing acreage rose from 152 acres five years before the present to 156 acres in the latest report, with 171 total acres logged for 2025 across 9 counties and two growers on file. It remains a small but deliberate planting by growers experimenting with cooler-climate white varieties outside the usual California lineup of grapes.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Gruner Veltliner, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
