The vegetal nature is there, but less noticeable. Enjoyable. (417 views) | | | Tasted by oakville72 on 10/23/2023 & rated 90 points: Terrific Grüner Veltliner with great sophistication. Yes, I acknowledge that Grüner is a hard sell for those who are used to, for example, fat California Chardonnays and fragrant German Rieslings, but good Grüners grow on one's palate. To draw a comparison to cocktails, a good Grüner is like a great dry martini. Arguably, the Grüners from the steep hills along the Danube in Wachau are the best. (384 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 9/23/2023 & rated 87 points: Pale yellow with green tint. Citrus, grassy, white pepper and minerality. Medium-light bodied and good acidity. Fresh and crisp but flat, i.e. not much structure. I was hoping for more from Domaine Wachau but was disappointed. Need to drink up soon. (501 views) | | | Tasted by bianca15 on 8/5/2023 & rated 87 points: Nice crisp Gruner but a bit overly acidic. Can do better for a Gruner but it's very good for this price.

(317 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 4/13/2023 & rated 87 points: Taken to Michelin star restaurant Sorrel (Dorking) for my 69th birthday by daughter and partner. Excellent 9 course (tasting) menu and the house's recommended wines to accompany. Minimal notes (mostly points).
Rather too atypically full for my expectation but nonetheless more than acceptable. (349 views) | | | Tasted by Sean McGrath on 3/24/2023: Rich and smooth. Less bite than a typical Grüner, but very good. (354 views) | | | Tasted by Martin Redmond on 2/23/2023 & rated 87 points: It pours a pale lemon color with lime, flint, apples, white pepper, asparugus and savory spice aromas. On the palate it approached medium-bodied with racy acidity. It shows delightful green and yellow apple, Key lime and subtle herb and spice flavors with a satisfying finish. 12.5% abv|SRP - $18.99.
(391 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 2/22/2023 & rated 85 points: Melon, yellow apple, and mineral nose. Light-medium bodied; good flavours and finish.
3/5 (340 views) | | | Tasted by Big Juicy Red on 8/8/2022 & rated 88 points: On the simple side, but quite pleasant for $16. There’s a hint of bitterness on the finish that goes away after 30 minutes or so. Paired very well with caprese sandwiches. (549 views) |

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
