The wines have a lot in common, even if a relationship between the two varieties has not yet been proven. Both have peppery notes, whereby the loess, which is predominant in the Wagram region, seems to intensify this tone in almost all varieties. Green Veltliner tends to be melting and somewhat full-bodied even at somewhat lower alcohol levels and often exhibits green-vegetable aromas, while Red Veltliner is somewhat more yellow-fruited, especially at lower alcohol levels, and can actually also show red-berry aromas at higher maturity.
