Schütt features two white grape varieties
The Vinea Wachau producer listing shows both Grüner Veltliner and Riesling for Schütt. The vineyard name indicates the source location, but does not determine the variety alone. Always check both the vineyard and the grape variety on the label.
Compare vineyards with the same variety
Loibenberg, Kellerberg, and Schütt are listed for Riesling. By unifying the variety, it becomes easier to compare the lands. However, since harvest year and winemaking are not always the same, you should also check bottle-by-bottle details for comparison tastings.
Vinothekfüllung is also two varieties.
Vinothekfüllung is described as being made from Grüner Veltliner since 1988 and Riesling since 2000. Both are described as selected dry wines. This name, too, does not indicate a single grape variety, but rather the position of the wine within the range.
