About The Wine
Salomon Undhof is one of the longest family-owned wineries in Austria.
The Salomon family's history with these vines stretches back seven generations to 1792 when the Capuchin monks tended the best vineyards in Kremstal. These special sites were handed down generation after generation, until Fritz Salomon made their first commercial bottling in 1932.
Erich Salomon took over from his father in 1971 and is considered by many as one of the godfathers of dry white wines in Austria. Today the winery is in the care of Dr. Bertold and Gertrud Salomon. The pair endeavour to make pure, precise wines that honour their heritage.
This delicious Gruner Veltliner is emblematic of their house style. Long, minerally, spicy and oh so fine, this is what Austrian Gruner is all about.
About Salomon Wines
Two hemispheres. From north to south. The Salomon Estate family story is a winemaking journey unparalleled in the world. Bert Salomon is a seventh-generation descendant of the great Austrian wine dynasty Salomon Undhof, renowned since 1792 for creating the finest Rieslings and Gruner Veltliners from the Kremstal region west of Vienna. In the 1980s he also pioneered the importation of Australian wines to his homeland.
Bert and his wife Gertrud have a love for great red wine and diverse cultures, which brought them to Australia hoping to broaden their horizons and find the perfect place for a vineyard to satisfy their wanderlust. As they searched, they fell in love with the landscape around the Finniss River district on South Australia’s southern Fleurieu Peninsula, and after meticulous terroir-based research settled on a site that became their southern hemisphere home.

Critic Reviews
"This dry gruner veltliner is so classic with plenty of white-pepper, apple and pear aromas. Very satisfying balance on the medium-bodied palate, where there’s some textural complexity." - JamesSuckling.com

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
