(Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner "Tradition") ($50.00) Do please glance at the producer-intro to see what “Tradition” signifies. It’s something worth knowing. In fact when I think of all the over six dozen growers whom I represent, the two things that stand out as most meaningful and most beautiful are Selbach’s en-bloc wines, and these of Michi’s. This ’09 is subtle, refined, allusive and searching. Warmer and leafier than the ’08, though it’s only two weeks in bottle. A eucalyptus spice detaches a little; the complexity here is more buttery, simmery, savory and analogue. You’re walking past a house by an open window, and inside someone is playing the piano. You pause to hear the music, and then you realize you can’t move, you are haunted, unaccountably moved, not just by the music but by the grace of having eavesdropped upon it; it wasn’t played for you, but you were there, and now you are visited by a strange thing you haven’t a name for. At last you resume your walk, altered, and this nameless thing walks with you as if it had always been there and had always been yours.

This was a lot richer, lacking the acidic-cut/tension of the 2008, tasted side by side...it was still exceptional. This is the wine that I could see my mother-in-law preferring. On the nose, I could see the scents of vanilla, yellow apple, & pear throwing off someone into thinking it's a Chardonnay. All in all, I feel very lucky to have a friend that did a much better job of aging these wines than I did. What a treat to taste these fully-mature whites side-by-side.

Renner vineyard w. status of Erste Lage. 50 years old vines. Matured in big barrels and 18 months sur lie. Yellow-golden colour, persistent med+ acid, the alcohol is a bit too dominating. Lacks balance and finesse.
My notes: Honey, flowers, Malibu rhum, soap, mint, apricot, caramelised lemons, popcorn, brioche, sage, bitter almonds and Islay Whisky.

Made in a somewhat oxidative style, this has intriguing flavors of peaches, melon and roasted nuts in a medium-to-full bodied frame that is nicely balanced by racy acidity on the finish; Different than the Gruners I'm accustomed to, although I really enjoyed it

First time having a "tradition" style gruner. Very interesting and quite different than the classic style. Deep yellow color. Yellow apple and peach with good minerality. Very round and supple, aromatic, and unctuous.

A bit of a strange Gruner Veltliner as it is made in the "traditional" method. Much more round and a bit of an oily texture, not unlike a Viogner or a Marsanne/Rousanne blend. In a blind tasting, this proved to be very confusing, and the low acidity had no one guessing Gruner. It had tropical notes and mango that made this wine very pleasant, but perhaps not for everyone.
