| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.9 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 24 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Firefly78 on 12/10/2013 & rated 88 points: My first GV. Restrained on the nose. Different story on the palate - mineral with vibrant acidity and a hint of peppery spiciness on the medium+ finish.
Not a life changer, but suits my palate and will be definitely coming back for more.. (2215 views) | | | Tasted by kjarthur on 12/26/2012: My first Gruner Veltliner. I might say the nose wasnt much but it did sing on the palate, nicely balanced and easy on the taste buds. I found it to be vibrant with floral floral aromas and flavors of pear and citrus. I did taste a bit of minerals, but I feel this struck a good balance with the citrus making the acidity refreshing almost palate cleansing. (3181 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 3/24/2012: 4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Rick's & Cris'): Wasn't sure what to make of this. Aromas of citrus, lemongrass and honeysuckle. Pineapple, tropical fruit and peach notes on the palate, with nice underlying acidity. I liked it quite a bit, but it went downhill quickly, developng an odd cheesy aroma that was a real turnoff. Had some spritz to it as well. None of us guessed Gruner. (4388 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 1/14/2012: Popped and poured, and this Singing was singing with Peruvian ceviche and seafood.

Well structured nose with notes of honey, asian pear, citrus, sea air and mineral which carries onto the palate. Well integrated flavors and good acid ROCK with my wife's grilled cheese, bacon and onion with sriracha sauce sandwiches. Drink now to 2012. (1762 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 10/27/2011: very good wine by itself it didn't go well with spicy ginger carrot soup. Not match made in heaven :( (1402 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 10/22/2011: won by a mile side by side with NZ Sauvignon Blanc at Vietnamese restaurant. Time to re-up. (1372 views) | | | Tasted by jeremy_ross on 9/21/2011 & rated 86 points: Nose is steely, salty, a little lemon. Crisp, fairly round, very dry, lemon essence and subtle herb. Pretty good w/ food. Good summer wine. (1696 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 9/15/2011: Dry, mineralic, fruity sweetness, crushed stones - good enough to buy 3 bottles. (1365 views) | | | Tasted by Krautrocker on 7/2/2011 & rated 89 points: Refreshing and crisp, with a flowery background and subtle spice. Simple and very nicely balanced. (1982 views) | | | Tasted by fanglangzhe on 5/6/2011 & rated 84 points: Light bodied but adequate flavor concentration. Citrus and herbs on the palate. Nice acidity but a bit hollow mid palate and weak finish. (2133 views) | | | Tasted by Mivvy on 4/23/2011 & rated 82 points: Slightly green. Sweet nose. Sweet palate, touch of acidity but a bit cloying. (1392 views) | | | Tasted by kstoddard on 4/19/2011 & rated 90 points: Golden yellow color. Citrus nose. Tastes of apple, melon, and pear. Rich, crisp, clean finish with some depth and complexity. (2420 views) | | | Tasted by Anthony Lombardi on 4/18/2011: Unscrewed and poured. Pale yellow gold. The nose is restrained, but shows some nice Asian pear notes. Great mouthfeel. Refreshingly acidic, but balanced with green apple and more
pear notes. A hint of lemon as well. Good length and just mouthwateringly dry.
These just showed up at Costco and I was buying scallops, so I figured why not? Will make a good one for warm summer nights.

A slight touch a citrus makes it a great sipping wine. (2285 views) | | | Tasted by flydcjets on 3/14/2011 & rated 89 points: light and refreshing! (2326 views) | | | Tasted by YWG Wine Guy on 9/7/2010 & rated 89 points: This producer hasn't failed me with their GV's...this one is just off the vines, and named after i think a daughter. Does it make me sing? Well only if i'm watching Canadian Idol and had a few glasses perhaps. This is complex and interesting. Nice solo and would match alright with the typical food pairings. The nose has nice overlays of ?bannana, apricots, stone fruit? The palate has some acidity, and similar notes that you get on the nose, along with some pineapple on the finish. A little efferevesent which i like. Not sweet at all, well balanced. This rivals some SB's from NZ and has good price point. I will pick up some more for sure! (2298 views) |
| Laurenz V. 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 Wine Region
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. |
