great balance, stone fruit, good acidity, long and just delicious

2011 vintage

Balanced, fresh, pure, with lovely fruit. Tasted it a year or two ago, and it seems to have lost a bit of the baby fat, but gained in complexity. In contrast to other notes, I thought a rich food would overpower this - something lighter and subtle would better fit my palate. Next in 2-3 years (2027-8).

2019 vintage

Pale yellow gold in the glass. Medium bodied, creamy, fresh melon and tropical fruits on the tongue. Medium intensity with balance in play - structure balances the distinct fruit palate. The type of gruner that you can sell someone on its powers of seduction. Perhaps a touch of a warm vintage in it's profile

2019 vintage

Excellent wine, intense exotic fruits, long finish.

2019 vintage

Genka Wine Fair (Divani Hotel) : Dry vintage -/- The nose is quite different to 2021, the fruit is riper, stone fruit, apricot, peach, the green fruit and the herbal notes come together. The palate follows the same pattern as the nose, the fruit is round, ripe, the acidity feels lower, the texture is round, lime, med finish. There is a green grapefruit-y element lurking here in the back

2019 vintage

Great Gruner Veltliner from great vintage. Highly recommended.

2019 vintage

Technically a very good wine, but to me needs rich food to balance it out and show it at its best. It’s quite rich and fruity with peach, apricot, honey, passion fruit, pineapple, and white pepper flavours. Rounded acidity, textured, a slight fruit sweetness and very long finish.

2019 vintage

Sweet smell of grape flavored cotton candy and pears. Pleasant soft acidity and slight sweetness on the palate. Another crowd pleaser .

2019 vintage

floral, high acidity, go well with foods.

2019 vintage

No1 GV of the exceptional 2019 vintage tasting tonight.

2019 vintage

Pale yellow color. Lovely stone fruit nose with prominent apricots. Nice lemony tang, mouth watering acidity and minerality on the palate . Very pleasant wine to drink now and it matches well with a variety of foods .

2019 vintage

Belle amplitude et bien nourri. Des pommes et des poires avec une belle acidité. Assez long et bien persistant en finale. Super bon!

2019 vintage

I love the texture of this gruner - mouthfeel of oilyness, but still fresh with lemon and pepper minerality

2019 vintage

[Restaurant purchase] Very good GV, probably too young. Apricot, white peach, minerality, filming mouthfeel, medium+ acidity, long finish. 91-92+

2019 vintage

Lemon oily white pepper

2019 vintage

Somewhat smokey nose of dark spices, pear skin, tobacco, mirabellen. Creamy palate of smooth yellow fruits, with wound up concentration and a finely-chiseled acidity. The mirabellen, grapefruit, lime, and pear tastes linger on the long, creamy, salt-and-white-pepper finish for an impressive amount of time--actually, the finish is as enormous and imposing as a highly extracted Burgundy. No wonder the wine critics are going crazy about this producer... Although it is already showing alot, one senses even more latent substance under …

2019 vintage

Floral nose, rich baked apple flavours with honey. Slight spiciness and very long. Acidity feels low without food, but it transforms with food to something more balanced, lighter and interesting.

2019 vintage

Wine Spectator 40th Anniversary; 10/21/2021-10/23/2021 (Marriott Marquis) : This surprised me as I thought for sure I'd prefer the red wine as the pairing but I found myself coming out here. It's very fresh, some white fruits, a hint of green, it just balances the fried pork so well and pulls out flavor and calls less attention to the fact that the food is served room temperature.

2019 vintage

Grüner Veltliner (Schloss Gobelsburg, Austria) : Flight 1, Wine 3: All in large casks. Light to medium yellow gold. Ripe yellow fruit, ripe apple, ripe citrus, lactic notes, light earth, and white pepper spice, with good acidity, and very good length. Good body and concentration, and a smooth, buttery texture.

2019 vintage

Dieser grüne Veltliner ist gleichbedeutend mit geiler Veltliner. Mund voll Aroma. Klasse!

2011 vintage

Hay in colour with a green tinge. Fruit notes on first opening. Green apple and stone fruit (peach and nectarine) with some blossom notes. Needs to be drunk north of fridge temp for the fruit to shine. Pepper finish not quite there when first opened but develops some time after opening (c 1 to 2 hours). Good long finish. Delicious

2019 vintage

Tasted blind. Light golden. Complex aroma. Mushroom, sea, beeswax. Mature on the palate, great concentration, long and tight. Very good.

2011 vintage

Turning into a v nice wine. Stones, green fruit, big and good intensity.

2011 vintage

No formal note. Lovely crisp and fresh Grüner Veltliner from this top producer. Maybe my recent exposure to some Keller Rieslings influences my score...

2011 vintage

Decent but youthful bottle.

2011 vintage

Much improved in the two years since I last had this. Green fruits, pear, spice, mineral character. Showing well.

2011 vintage

Weekend in London; 5/12/2017-5/13/2017 (Ledbury, Il Baretto, Hedonsim) : By the glass at the Ledbury. Decent acidity. Lots of almost a wildflower honey in the background. Really enjoyed it. Was great with the scallop especially. The acidity also cut the fat in the egg. Very tasty.

2011 vintage

Outstanding wine!

2011 vintage

A great showing. Nice acidity, starting to show some development.

2011 vintage

At the moment rather bland. Some Gruner character but sulky and subdued. Hopefully better with age but a bit disappointing at present.

2011 vintage

Crisp, dry, yet a little bitter on the finish.

2011 vintage

Gobelsburger is Austrian for good: terrific wine for the price. Straw color with goldent tints; ample bouquet redolent of petrol, somewhat luscious on the palate, some mineral quality and tropical fruits.

2011 vintage

Bright yellow green; subtle nose, green apple, tart yellow and green fruit, subtle spice, salty, white pepper; broader on the palate, more viscous texture, tart green fruit, struck match and tingle on the finish probably from some sulfur not visible on the nose; good.

2011 vintage

Straw yellow color; subtle nose of white flowers, faint white pepper, salty minerals, and light apple and pear; starts a little non-descript with more effusiveness in the back exhibiting the same flavors as the nose with some green vegetables added, fairly delicate body with a nice sweet apple and pear finish; clean, simple, and tasty.

2011 vintage

Lovely lime foam, lanolin powder, minerals, spiciness, white pepper -- classic Gruner!

2011 vintage

Fermented with natural yeasts and aged in old 2500 liter oak casks. Deep, concentrated emerald green color; one of the most concentrated green-tinted colors I've ever seen in a white wine. The expressive nose is at least as intense as the appearance with powerful aromas of aromatic green herbs, fresh pear, wet stone minerality, complex exotic spices, some underlying tropical fruits and even a touch of darker, red-toned fruits. The wine feels very ripe, concentrated and expressive on the palate, …

2011 vintage

Lime, lychee, honeysuckle. Bright acidity. Spicy white pepper linger in finish. Really quite nice, spicy and fruity, light yet complex if you listen. Great value for $15.

2011 vintage

Sitrongul. Medium intensitet. Modne, gule epler, mineraler og urter på nese. Hint av fat. Medium syre. Medium+ kropp og konsentrasjon. Kremet konsistens. Modne, gule epler og urter på smak. Medium+ lengde.

2011 vintage

Unscrewed and poured. Refreshing, verdant aromas of herbs and minerals. Clean, dry white fruit and mineral water flavors up front. Pleasant sweetness in the finish. Interesting but not complex. Pure flavors, firm backbone, a bit of petillance. Very nice Gruner at a very attractive price.

2011 vintage

Blind tasting at Halvor's - ham and cheese combinations (Risløkka, Oslo) : Light flaxen colour. Very green/herbal on the nose. Also some tropical, like green bananas. Some residual Co2. Full-bodied and fat. At first very green on the palate, but you can feel that there is a lot of debt and potential there. Tight and long finish. The very green and herbal character made me guess Sauvignon Blanc from outside Loire. The wine is very young and primary now, but …

2011 vintage

light golden, in color. lychee, citrus, floral, citrus, honey, straw, mineral, spice, on the nose. medium acid, crisp, on the finish.

2011 vintage

Poured by sedef. Lime, citrus, green apples, wet stone, flowers. Needs time. $67 retail. A generous wine to have brought.

2011 vintage

Light yellow color; appealing, lifted, ripe pear, white jasmine, light vanilla nose; tasty, focused, rich but poised, ripe pear, white jasmine, mineral palate; medium-plus finish 91+ points ($62)

2011 vintage

The nose was intense yet soothing, showing ripe peach, hints of citrus, wet rock and stony minerals. On the palate, it was fresh yet lush, seeming to touch on all of the senses with notes of sweet stone fruits, citrus and inner floral tones. The finish was long, turning slightly tart, tinged with green apple and minerals. Followed over the course of twelve hours and loved every minute of it.

2011 vintage

Dull and broad quite nice bitterness. Adault-ish...

2011 vintage

Steely yellow green; faint nose containing orchard fruit, green grape, and slight melon; plump fresh fruit with good acid, natural spiciness on the finish along with some white pepper. Clean and fairly simple though an effective wine for food pairing.

2011 vintage

Light and crisp with stony minerality and a green, herbal character to the fruit. Very much what we look for in GV if a bit lacking in intensity.

2011 vintage

91 points on day 2. As Keith indicated below on 9/1/12, this is a 'day 2' kind of wine; it showed surprising gains in depth, complexity, and a sweetness of fruit that I would not have predicted from it's initial performance. It was austere immediately after opening. Patience is advised, even at this lower level. Open at lunch if you're going to have it with dinner right now.

2011 vintage

Crisp and light with apply fruit

2011 vintage

Dinner at Ledbury (Notting Hill, London) : Wow. This was quite a stunner of a Grüner Veltliner, possibly one of the very best I have ever had. It introduced itself with a very nice nose, where a little touch of earthy lentils was shaded by riper stone fruit aromas, a nice line of slatey mineral and a lilting waft of white flowery accents. It was on the palate where this really shone though. This coated the mouth with such beautifully …
