For those who like crisp and crystalline whites, this is absolute textbook, and a wonderful way to get introduced to serious Grüner Veltliner at entry-level pricing. Raised in stainless steel and bottled at night when the wine is cold, to preserve freshness, Freiheit shows a subtle pineapple and citrus peel notes as well as floral components with a clean mineral finish.

Some value wines from Austria; 8/9/2014-8/10/2014 (WRW): I really liked this, but it is still very primary. Nothing wrong with that at $23 Ohio, its a nice refreshing Riesling with plenty of potential to develop. Mineral driven with some lime notes. Nice and clean on the palate.

Just a darn shockingly good wine from Nigl this year. The best I have ever tasted. Yes, the steely acids are still there but the mid palate has really blossomed and the nose is so much more than its just mineral driven self.

Pineapple and fresh, lots of minerality on the back, very presistent. A great vintage for Nigl.
