  Really enjoyed this. Paired perfectly with the Oysters we had. Some green apple, perfect, bright acidity. Some lemongrass as well. Bartender was pushing a Pinot Grigio.... This was far superior.

  Made with 100% organically farmed Grüner Veltliner. 11,5% alcohol, 2 g/l residual sugar and 5,2 g/l acidity.
  
  Quite youthful, moderately pale yellow-green color. The nose feels fresh and fruity with bright aromas of ripe Golden Delicious apple, some cantaloupe, a little bit of hay, light stony mineral notes, a hint of beeswax and a touch of something smoky. The wine is dry, firm and somewhat concentrated on the palate with a medium body and fresh, rather acid-driven flavors of sweet white fruits, some saline tang, a little bit of crunchy green currant, light mineral notes of wet rocks, a hint of hay and a touch of something waxy. The moderately high acidity makes the wine feel balanced and lends it nice sense of freshness. The finish is dry and fresh with a moderately long aftertaste of stony minerality, some fresh apple tones, a little bit of tangy salinity, light zesty notes of citrus fruits and a sweeter hint of ripe cantaloupe.
  
  A nice, fresh and balanced but also a bit linear Grüner Veltliner. Age seems to have benefited the wine, as it shows a bit more depth, fruit and concentration than it did 3½ years ago, when I last tasted it. Still, this is a bit on the simple side; while further aging might grant the wine with some additional sense of weight and complexity - and there is still some room for further aging, seeing how youthful the wine still is - I doubt any amount of aging will make the wine feel particularly interesting. This is a pretty nice but also pretty one-dimensional little Grüner Veltliner that is not on par with the better Loimer wines. Feels a bit pricey for the quality at 16,24€.

  From a 375ml bottle. Mineral and subtle ripe fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, dry, rather refreshing, showing subtle overripe/candied fruit with a hint of stony mineral and decent acidity. A somewhat atypical GV but nevertheless very good.

  My first Gruner Veltiner. I found this bottle to be bone dry, citrusy and slightly acerbic. While I found the profile to be a bit off putting, I think it was a serious effort and my opinion is the result of my preferences as to what makes an enjoyable wine. Ill look to try another producer for a second sampling.
