| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 29 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by bjlcrucrazy on 4/17/2019 & rated 90 points: Still very delicious!! medium body, prickly acidity, green veggies, white pepper. Fantastic pairing with Fenugreek Cream Curry Lamb popsicles!! Even better 2 days later with pulled pork and cole slaw. Fantastic QPR. Absolutely no signs of age. Good GV doesn't even budge for 10-12 and then just keeps going!! (674 views) | | | Tasted by Krassens on 12/28/2018 & rated 89 points: Still good, mostly yellow fruit, waxy. (707 views) | | | Tasted by Krassens on 1/8/2018 & rated 89 points: Well matured at this point, quite oily in texture, dark yellow with greenish tone. Mature yellow fruit, Golden delicious apple, heavier on the oak than noticed in previous bottles. Developing nicely. (1020 views) | | | Tasted by Krassens on 10/23/2016 & rated 90 points: Another great bottle. Lovely balance between acidity and vibrant fruit. Still, however - don't let it get above 10-12C, when the oiliness takes over. (1555 views) | | | Tasted by Krassens on 1/25/2016 & rated 88 points: Pretty much consistent with previous note, although more citric than I remembered, with sharper acidity. Unsure if it's just bottle variation, but this one seemed like it needed a couple of years more to come together.
Edit: Leaner on the second day. 88-89 p (1829 views) | | | Tasted by GregGH on 6/26/2015 & rated 90 points: A hit ...

(1763 views) | | | Tasted by paulst on 12/14/2014 & rated 89 points: Soft and smooth peach-apricot; layered with nice mineral notes; soft finish. (1677 views) | | | Tasted by Krassens on 11/9/2014 & rated 90 points: Well-balanced GV, crisp and fresh but without youth tones, lemon zest, green leaves, high acidity, great value for money. Should drink well over a couple of years ahead. (1337 views) | | | Tasted by Tpairing on 8/4/2014 & rated 90 points: Well balanced with pineapple, pear and apple. Drank with sashimi and a side order of beet salad. (1268 views) | | | Tasted by Magno on 6/13/2014: Beautiful golden color, intense nose of flint, lemon, apricot, orange zest and white pepper. Great balance, texture and complexity the middle palate has some vegetal and mineral notes that are hard to describe but reminds me of leeks with aji no moto. Delicious stuff. (1037 views) | | | Tasted by paulst on 5/25/2013 & rated 92 points: Creamy with some crisp candy apple; smooth and long with earth tones, lemon, pineapple and a hint of honey.

Terry Theise Estate Selections, 2011 Austrian Catalog (5/1/2011)
(Hiedler Grüner Veltliner Thal) ($29.00) Very deep löss covered with red sand give what I think is Ludwig’s signature GrüVe, the one that is most crucially a Hiedler wine. And this is just excellent hi-def cool-vintage Thal, just the way I like them best; all its rich exotica in a firm binding of organized structured flavor; the iron and leaf-smoke are strong this year, and the finish is long and spicy. |

| Hiedler Producer websiteGrüner VeltlinerGrüner Veltliner, (or Gruener Veltliner when spelled without the Umlaut) is an indigenous white grape from Austria. Grüner Veltliner accounts for nearly 30% of the country's plantings making it the most widely grown grape in the country.
Grüner Veltliner is grown throughout the wine growing areas of Austria, but is most prominent in the area of Neiderösterrich (Lower Austria.) Grüner Veltliner is an ancient descendant of the white grape, Traminer, its other parent remains unknown.
Grüner Veltliner is a DAC classified wine in the wine growing areas of the Weinvertel DAC (District Appellation Control), Kremstal DAC, Kamptal DAC, Traisental DAC and Lethaiberg DAC. Other important growing areas include the areas of Wachau, Vienna, and Wagram despite the fact these regions are not currently recognized under the DAC system. Grüner Veltliner wines typically 12.5% abv, but can have more or less dependent on the region, the year and winemaker's personal style.
Grüner Veltliner is most commonly known as a bone-dry, highly acidic grape with distinct aromas and flavors of white pepper, green apple and citrus. While this is the typical flavor profile for young Grüner Veltliner wines, it is important to recognize that Grüner Veltliner is a very expressive grape and will show different dependent upon the region in which it is grown. For example, the Weinvertel will demonstrate high-acid, white pepper and green apple as noted, but a Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau is likely to show characteristics more typical of that of Riesling -richer, deeper fruit and a touch of stone; still other regions display different expressions that can include tropical notes, stone fruits, flint, smoke and more.
Though many Grüner Veltliner wines are made for immediate consumption, Grüner Veltliner can have incredible aging potential and can often be compared with white Burgundy, after all they are grown at roughly the same latitude. Grüner Veltliner made for aging will likely be slightly higher in alcohol and contain later-harvested grapes.
Although Grüner Veltliner is typically vinified dry, it may also be used on its own or as part of a cuvée to make sweeter styles such as Beerenauslese, Trokenbeeranauslese, Ruster Ausbruch (in the town of Rust only) or Eiswein.
Grüner Veltliner is an average-ripening grape and is typically harvested in October in Austria though weather conditions can force vine growers to harvest early.
Gruner Veltliner may be found in other areas of the world under the name of Weißgipfler, Grünmuskateller (AT), Veltlínské zelené (CZ), Zöld veltelini (HU), Veltlínske zelené (SK) or Zeleni veltlinec (SL).Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageAustria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich
