Description

This is Grüner Veltliner with presence. Tasmanian-grown, but Austrian in spirit and built with more intent than most.

From their close-planted estate vines in Pipers River, Sinapius have given Grüner a bit more space to stretch out. The grapes see skin contact before pressing, full wild fermentation, and maturation on lees in a mix of stainless and large-format oak. It’s bottled without fining or filtration, allowing every bit of texture and nuance to show through.

There’s classic Grüner spice and herbaceous lift, but also more depth - think nashi pear, lemon pith, and white pepper layered with alpine herbs, crushed stone and a salty, mouthwatering edge. The palate walks a line between creamy and crystalline, with a fine mineral thread and a finish that hums with citrus zest and almond skin.

This is a wine that speaks clearly of place and variety, with the detail and finesse that’s become a Sinapius hallmark. Structured, savoury, and just a little wild - it’s Grüner from the deep south.

"Slinky and textural with daubs of cream, fine mineral drive and notes of citrus, stone, spice and whey as it slowly fades out."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Best Gruner Veitliner we have tasted in Australia

The 2019 Sinapius Close Planted Gruner Veltliner is the best Gruner Veitliner we have tasted in Australia. It is fresh, beautifully balanced, flavourful and delicious drop.
Highly recommended.

Sinapius

Sinapius is a premium boutique Tasmanian winery started by two young, passionate winemakers.

The couple, Vaughn Dell & Linda Morice, purchased the site when they were only 24-years-old and chose to plant their vines in the Burgundian fashion opting for high-density planting and low-yielding crops. Their small labour of love has budded into one of Tasmania's most exciting viticultural projects.

Vaughn passed away tragically in 2020, however, the Sinapius label continues under the guidance of Linda and the help of some loving friends. The Sinapius wines are of extremely high quality, made in small amounts and showcase their unique patch of dirt with transparency, purity and power.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
