  November 24, 2023 - PnP. Beautiful straw color in the glass. On the nose is stone fruit, lemon, and white pepper. Light-bodied, high acidity, and flavors of meyer lemon, unripe pear, and green apple on the palate. Medium length aftertaste.
  
  This is a well-integrated wine from a great site and a good vintage. What's not to like? Pair with light protein, veggies, spicy foods....Drink now through 2029.

  des épices et un peu d`herbes.
  Simple et pas très long mais tout
  de même délicieux.

  July 27, 2021 - Where, What, When
  
  Not quite the who, what, when, where, and why you usually find, but I only needed three of them.
  
  Mention Austria and I can only wonder how many people would recognize the name of the country let alone find it on a map. Bring up Grüner Veltliner and that same somewhat stupefied look may come over a few folks, even wine drinkers. When you throw into that mix a string of continuous vintages that were nothing short of outstanding, I would like to think that any serious wine drinker might finally take notice.
  
  That’s exactly what happened when I started looking into the 2019 vintage of those wonderful Grüner Veltliner wines that are now on shelves across the world.
  
  For the record, I knew where Austria was, in broad terms, and I have had many a Grüner before, but not enough given their essence, the vintage history took me by surprise, but pleasantly; I was then more confident that just about any Gruner I might choose had a better than even chance of being an excellent choice.
  
  This brings me to the wine I’m reviewing:
  
  Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Kamptal Grüner Veltliner 2019
  
  I obviously didn’t choose the wine for the ease of the name!
  
  As with other wines with minimal intervention (100% Stainless Steel fermentation) in the winemaking process, the vintage becomes a major player in the resulting wine, thus the importance as noted above. Again, a winery that takes their eco-responsibility to heart having been sustainable for many years. Altogether it equates to a wonderful wine.
  
  From its pleasurable aromatics, the wine carries along to a crisp palate of stone fruit (think peach and pear) along with citrus and a touch of minerality that leads to a refreshing finish. My memories of Grüners usually exhibiting white pepper notes along the finish was evident but to a lesser degree than I remember, by no means detracting from the wine, although given a little time to open, the wine began to develop those white pepper notes more fully.
  
  As a break from Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, or if you’re looking for a new wine to try (hey, there’s the why), Grüners in my book excel. So consider the where, what, when (Austria, Grüner Veltliner, 2019 vintage) when choosing your next wine.
  
  Cheers

  July 25, 2021 - Really loving this vintage and always like the QPR on this Gruner. Goes well with spicy and on it's own for deck sipping. Going back for case rebuy.
