| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.8 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by tadgacich on 2/20/2021 & rated 87 points: A little heavy for a GV. Pass on this one (749 views) | | | Tasted by JCGuthrie on 8/9/2020 & rated 88 points: Chalk and mineral on the nose, with light floral notes that become more prominent the longer it's open. Funky, mineral saline on the palate. Hard for me to get past the funky note on day one, but it lost much of that element on day two and paired quite nicely with melon and proscuitto. (924 views) | | | Tasted by afields on 7/14/2020: Has typical GV character like wet stone, lime, grass, green onion, but this is muted and a little watery and doesn’t have the zesty acid or enough of the vegetal saltiness I want from the varietal. Fuller body than expected too, this is almost like GV crossed with new world Chardonnay. In a broader sense this is within the range of quality you’d expect for a $13 white, but you can get fairly good Gruner very cheap—I had a $12 liter bottle recently that I liked considerably better (from Reinhard Waldschütz)—which makes this poor qpr. If you want a wine that feels like cheap Chardonnay but with some greenish character then this may be for you but mostly I’d say pass on this. ~4.5-5/10 (927 views) | | | Tasted by STVNSMTCHLL on 6/18/2020 & rated 69 points: Yellow/hay in color. Metallic on the nose. Low alcohol. Some fruit, maybe sour apple. Not much of a finish. (962 views) | | | Tasted by FruitFly on 5/12/2020 & rated 90 points: WSET L2 Review
Appearance: Lemon
Nose: Medium intensity of apple, floral
Palate: Off-dry; high acidity; low alc; medium body; medium flavors of lemon, lime, grapefruit
Finish: Medium
Quality: Very good
Additional comments: nice tasting, tart (acid), but well-balanced, very drinkable, crisp & smooth at the same time (1030 views) | | | Tasted by oakville72 on 2/19/2020 & rated 89 points: Very nice pure Grüner with clean fruit. Lots of lime. Super value! (702 views) | | | Tasted by theebigjuan on 1/16/2020 & rated 92 points: Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. There's also an aroma of steel and flint. Bright acid and a full body make this a satisfying drink alone, but even better paired with fairly intense foods in the chicken/fish realm. (402 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 1/8/2020 & rated 85 points: Delicate nose. Fresh, spiced, dry palate; finishes well.

| Weingut Stadt Krems Producer websiteGrüner 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

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Kremstal Vineyards on weinlagen-info |
