Drink now, do not hold. Medium lemon green color, slow sheeting on the glass. Medium+ intensity nose: lemon zest, lime zest, white pepper, hay, petrol, grassy, fennel, wax, honey. Faint creaminess. Aromas are developing. Medium body, medium+ acid, medium- intensity flavors. Off-dry. Lemon, lime, fennel, grass, hey. Long finish.

Haven't had too many Gruner's but really enjoyed this as it was probably the most I've paid for one dipping my toes into the stlye. Nice crisp citrus fruit with a steel minerality and just the right acidity to balance it out. Would probably seek out again for the QPR, If you've never had Gruner give it a try. Nice change and out of the ordinary if you enjoy a nice crisp refreshing citrusy summer deck wine,

This is very tasty for the price, a really nice value. The nose is filled with minerality, steel, citrus peel, and herbs. On the palate it is super crisp and mineral with hints of fresh herbs and a laser cut finish. It was delightful with garlic parsley sautéed shrimp. At the price certainly worth a look.

This is the perfect wine for a lunch in the summer. Light in alcohol (11.5%), light in weight, and crisp as an Army uniform. But serious and enchanting at the same time, with lovely texture and so delicious. Back up the truck!

Good wine and good value as always. No formal notes as this was one of many Thanksgiving wines, but had the usual combo of class, complexity, and drinkability that I always love in this bottling.

Straw color. Nose of apple, cut grass, and lemongrass. Lively and energetic, medium-plus acidity, each sip demands another. Classic Austrian Grüner Veltliner. Great value. Drink now.

A light but expressive vintage for this always lovely wine. Classic green aromas of lemon grass and herbs, and that lactic sour cream thing I get, too. Balanced and energetic, and at 11.5% alcohol, I feel like I could drink a jeroboam and be none worse for the wear.

A fantastically bright and fresh nose of green apple, tangy citrus, iodine and a hint of white pepper. On the palate very lively and tangy with high, slightly spritzy acidity. Loads of salty minerality, with some bone dry yellow fruit also! Some classic white pepper action on the finish. A fine firm texture. A bit on the austere side, so perhaps not the first option for a conversation wine, but absolutely great with pan fried perch. At 11 € a really nice buy.

Bright gold, aromas of layered mineral and bracing sweetness, Tastes of oily sweet pepper and velvet balance. Well done for an ABV of 11%

Classic GV nose - lentils, green herbs, crisp and light weight palate. Works at $18, wish it had more heft.

Fairly mute nose. Lean and acidic palate - but in a good way. More of a lemon / stone profile. Quite good.
