| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by GonzaloManzaneda on 10/21/2019 & rated 90 points: Nariz de fruta madura con algo de hidrocarburos. Se nota la vendimia tardia. Acidez presente pero resalta el amargo!
Muy bueno.
Nota rápida en una catam (702 views) | | | Tasted by -Tim- on 3/17/2018 & rated 94 points: Four years ago while drinking this exceptional GV, I wrote that in none of my 300 CT reviews I ever rated a wine that high (94p).
By now, I wrote more than 600 CT reviews and this GV is still/again my highest ranked wine.
Incredible effort by Bründlmayer; very complex GV but this time with somewhat less (exotic) fruity notes and more dominant herbal and peppery notes. Delicious! (1033 views) | | | Tasted by Christoffer78 on 8/7/2015 & rated 94 points: I wrote it a year ago and I will repeat it today: There is Grüner Veltliner and there is Grüner Veltliner... This effort is one of those massive powerhouses. The nose provides lychee, apricot, tangerine zest and marigold. The palate adds balance and integration. Despite the wine's power there is a close to refreshing balance to be found. The acidity which lingers behind the massive fruit actually helps this effort pair nicely to somewhat heavier dishes. A lovely wine with many years to go in the cellar! (2394 views) | | | Tasted by malraux on 7/11/2015 & rated 95 points: Not exactly a wine for people who want a quick refreshing sip of white. This is a serious affair, big in all dimensions. The medium yellow colour is tinged with golden reflexes. Nose of pear and acacia with some more exotic fruits like pineapple and lime, even a hint of hazelnut. Full bodied, but well structured, the perfect balance between its creamy texture and the vibrant acidity provides tension. Great fun to drink, albeit its complexity – you just sniff and taste and are overwhelmed over and over again by the multiple aromas. I finished the open bottle the next day, and it was even better then. (1917 views) | | | Tasted by -Tim- on 2/7/2015 & rated 94 points: Same notes as last year, utterly complex and delicious GV! One bottle left. (1998 views) | | | Tasted by FransS on 7/1/2014 & rated 94 points: First contact, wow, is this Grüner Veltliner? Perfumed, subtle, complex bouquet, lychee, white fruit, nearly creamy midtaste with a touch of new wood; at the end maybe a bit too heavy. Loek made it too difficult with this wine (just before the La Conseillante '82). (1695 views) | | | Tasted by -Tim- on 5/17/2014 & rated 94 points: I think in about 300 reviews I have written on CT this is my first or second 94 points rating.
Tremendous effort by Bründlmayer, the creamiest, most balanced GV I ever had. Maybe Bründlmayers Lyra is getting close to Lamm but not as complex. Decent acidity, stone fruit, mild citrus notes, long finish. In a great state right now but don't drink it too cold.
So happy to have two bottles left in my cellar! (1637 views) | | | Tasted by Christoffer78 on 3/14/2014 & rated 93 points: Do not be mistaken. There is Grüner Veltliner and there is Grüner Veltliner... This certainly is a massive powerhouse style of this varietal. The nose offers up rich lychee, apricot, orange zest and lovely lilac. The palate adds very nicely to the overall impression with balance and integration - despite its power and structure there is a stunning balance to be found. The acidity which lingers behind the massive fruit actually helps this effort pair nicely to somewhat heavier dishes (with an elegant touch). I am quite amazed Grüner Veltliner can offer this much power and complxity. A massive and stunning effort! (1152 views) | | | Tasted by Chasse_spleen on 2/8/2014 & rated 93 points: Solid wine, exotic nose, lychée. Mouthfeel with strength and volume. Best GV we ever had. (912 views) | | | Tasted by affordableCollector on 5/23/2013 & rated 91 points: medium gold, in color. citrus, lime peel, floral, pepper, mineral, on the nose. mild acid, crisp, on the finish. (929 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 6/27/2011 & rated 92 points: 2010 Vintage Germany and Austria: Terry Theise and WineWise/The Vienna Wine Company Trade Tasting (Hawthorne Room, Golden Gate Club, San Francisco Presidio, California): Light green-tinged yellow color; floral, orange blossom, acacia nose; tasty, focused, tart peach, floral, orange blossom palate; medium-plus finish (2718 views) | | | Tasted by magnusvinum on 5/16/2011 & rated 95 points: Minerals and stone fruits mingle with white pepper on the nose. Very lifted and complex. The palate is powerful and deeply textured showing flavours of spice, minerals and stone fruits. Deeply profound and complex - absolutely delicious! (1724 views) |

Terry Theise Estate Selections, 2011 Austrian Catalog (5/1/2011)
(Willi Bründlmayer Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm) ($78.00) The ’09 is both elegant and swollen with rich interior concentration; you have the suave smile of ’09 fruit with the vast meadows and forests of Lamm, until a whomp of power lands on your back-palate. The external contours of the wine are still vague but the internal flavors are profound. All it needs is time. |

U.S. Importer (add'l info)Grüner 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).Lamm On weinlagen-infoAustria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich
