| Community Tasting Notes (average 83.5 pts. and median of 83 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Mlermontov on 2/23/2005 & rated 88 points: Dinner eith Parents & Tom (My house): lovly nose - sweet and with lots of apples and grass. Oily and yummy palatte. Great QPR and a good buy at under $15. went really well with salad and i am sure this would work well with many dishes. Will get more of this for everyday. needs more acidity to get a higher score but the year is rather atypical. alcohol does NOT show - which seems to be an issue with some 2003's. (2930 views) |

Due to Kurt Angerer's lack of compromise and commitment to high quality, both in the vineyards as well as during vinification, the wines in the cellars of Kurt Angerer are considered some of the best in all of Kamptal. The wine-growing estate of Kurt Angerer is a family business and has tradition of 150 years. Present owner Kurt Angerer feels strongly attached to the tradition and its "terroir" which is evident in the names of his wines: Kies, Spies, Loam, Granit and Eichenstaude. But most of all, it is the mineral structure and diverse location - bed rock soil, far-reaching loose soil or gravel - which give reason to the successfully tasteful and unique manner of the wines. "Kurt Angerer began his harvest the first week of October. That includes his 2007 reds, which seemed to be taking on oak at an alarming rate when I tasted them last June, although further time will tell. But most of his Gruner Veltliner did not come in much before November. Yet, none reached 14% in alcohol nor showed heat or roughness that I have noticed with other wines and vintages at this address." - David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate
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).Austria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich
