Part of many names or synonyms for autochthonous grape varieties mainly found in Austria. The Grüner Veltliner variety, the most common of these, is only distantly related, if at all, to all the others in the Veltliner name group. All but one variety are descended from Roter Veltliner, an important Austrian leading variety. With the exception of the new variety Donauveltliner, the varieties probably developed without human influence through natural crossbreeding or mutation, as did many other European cultivars:
