That's very interesting, Larry. As it happened I tasted an Adelaide Hills Grüner Veltliner on Christmas eve (Hahndorf Hill Winery). Leaner than the NZ one, very crisp and fresh - so in a way closer to the style you'd expect from Austria. It seems there is more interest in Grüner in your part of the world than I was aware of!
