Gobelsburg, Gruner Veltliner Renner Erste Lage, Kamptal DAC

Very good wine, benefits from more and more air, improved with every sip. Shining yellow color, bright aromas of pears and mango. Even some CO2 still on the palate. Fresh and unvomplicated, easy drinker with enough complexity and "flesh" to give it another 5-10 years at least

2015 vintage

Golden-colored. Bruised apples and a hint of caramel on the nose. Apples, bitter citrus, mango, some white pepper, some sweet caramel and sweet vanilla oak. This is a very ripe vintage resulting in a rich and powerful wine with rather low acidity for the vineyard. The wine has aged beautifully though and has picked up some aged white Burgundy flavors. Beautiful wine that should hold another 3-5 years at least. Natural cork. - 91 points

Jerry & Darren's Celebration (Draper's Arms, N1) : Mild lawnmower shed. A very precise wine, minor spritz, my tiny sip was really rather delicious.

2015 vintage

copy notes of last time- good, not great. Yellow fruits, seems a little bit overdone. At the end there's a little bit of alcholic sharpness and bitterness.

2019 vintage

Light gold color. Intense aromas of marzipan and pear. Light acidity and slightly sweet finish. Lovely rich mouth feel with good length. Very good indeed as Clive might have said.

2019 vintage

Slightly bitter ending - dumb phase?

2019 vintage

Frisk og let boblende. Flot syre og god dybde

2019 vintage

Excellent mineral and citrus dominated Riesling of great freshness and complexity. Will be very long-lived. - 92 points

2015 vintage

Brief taste only. Good heft, concentrated varietal expression, and fine balance.

2019 vintage

Consistent with prior note, 92+.

2019 vintage

Medium yellow color. Ripe stone fruit aromas. Soft acidity and good length. Very pleasurable wine to drink but not very complex.

2019 vintage

Even at 8 to 9 years old, this wine is still quite enjoyable. It has tropical fruit, bitter citrus, with balanced acidity.

2015 vintage

Light yellow color. Lovely nose with pear, lime peel, and apricots. Nice acidity and mineralogy on the palate with decent length. This was originally opened on 12/9 and then finished two days later on the 11th. It was much better with the extended oxygen exposure.

2019 vintage

Similar notes as my last bottle earlier this year. The wine has good minerality, tropical fruit, bitter citrus, with balanced acidity.

2015 vintage

Tropical fruit, bitter citrus, with balanced acidity. I would recommend enjoying this vintage sooner than later.

2015 vintage

I pleasantly surprised how well this has held up. Balanced, citrus, peppery, good mineralogy and acidity. Drink now -2026.

2015 vintage

Enough energy and zest to make this fresh and drinkable. There is tropical fruit and a pleasant vein of light spice. Good, layered, quaffable wine.

2015 vintage

Tropical fruit, bitter citrus, white pepper, and some savory notes to this wine. It’s nice at this stage.

2015 vintage

Better day two and three but lacks some punch on the palate; seems a bit lazy in its expression.

2019 vintage

Transparent yellow color. Honeyed apricots on the nose. Medium-light body, medium-plus acid. Lemon fruit on the palate with wonderful chalkiness mid-palate and a great finish. So good that I got distracted from taking notes.

2019 vintage

*** Certainly a bit young, but it came around. Drank over more than a week, with N2 preservative. Gentle and smooth, very nice balance and length. But, somehow, above all it projected a sense of calmness and serenity. Almost as if it could shake my hand, reassuringly.

2019 vintage

On day 1, I was slightly disappointed, the wine felt very closed. On day 2, it openend beautifully, apple and pear notes, tropical notes (honey melon), med+ acidity and a very long, mouth-watering finish. Very good and will improve further (although I have my doubts that WA‘s 98 points are realistic…), 92+. I will stock up, great value at about 22 EUR in Germany!

2019 vintage

This takes me back to living in Vienna in the fall of 1981, when I often enjoyed Gruner Veltliner whites in this style with the wonderful and varied Austrian cooking. A bright, crisp wine with pale yellow color, a saline, lemony nose centered on yellow currents, oyster shell and white flowers. On the palate, mid-weight and lifted, good acidity, long finish. Quite delicious!

2019 vintage

Popped and poured, though after two hours it’s clear that a brief decant would have been a good idea. I am a dedicated fan of Gobelsburg’s Renner Grüner Veltliner. The 2019 is another in a long string of successes. It’s brighter and fresher than the deep and brooding 2018, and has less of the unctuous character that richer GV sometime carries, but that just fine. It’s a more refreshing edition, but still has the depth of other vintages, just on …

2019 vintage

Nice. Ready to consume.

2015 vintage

Medium gold color. Intense nose of lemon, peaches, pineapple, honey. Full bodied, dense and intense, very well balanced. Fresh, chalky acidity, minerality, long. Very good!

2015 vintage

No re-fermentation issues this time. A rich and ripe vintage for Renner, but this wine seems to be ageing really well. Baked yellow apples, some tropical fruits (mango?) and a good dose of black pepper, a vegetal streak, a lot of bitter flavored citrus, slightly creamy finish. Not quite as fresh and mineral as in the cooler vintages, but this is impressive for its density and richness and it is starting to develop some more complexity with age. Should hold …

2015 vintage

This was excellent. Well balanced and energetic. Lemon citrus, just ripe pear, nice earthy minerality. Very impressed. 13% abv.

2015 vintage

Vibrant, balanced, great as aperitif and with laksa dinner.

2015 vintage

Lemon, peaches, crisp acidity, mineral, feels lightweight and extremely well-balanced. Classy Heiligenstein Riesling and great vintage. The much cheaper Gaisberg Riesling is also excellent in 2015. - 91 points

2015 vintage

1 hr decant...first taste is so great, honeyed with snap pea bitterness combined, finishes with bitter and sweet viscosity. Great for me and so typical for the GV's I love. I do believe youth in these wines are key to keeping the freshness and vitality alive.

2015 vintage

Lemon peel, lemon juice, mirabels, peach, fresh acidity but fairly high alcohol

2015 vintage

Pineapple, stone fruits, citrus, slight mineral. Slight bitterness. Perhaps overpriced for what it brings to the table. Or just too young.

2015 vintage

No notes. But it was delightful on the Thanksgiving table. Everyone loved it. Gone too soon.

2015 vintage

Clear, light yellow to green Dezent fruchtig, süß Honigmelone, pfirsich, limette Eher wuchtig, wenig Finesse Schöne, Säure, eher alleinstehend, statt mit Aromen verbunden Anhaltender Geschmack

2015 vintage

This is just a pleasure to drink. On the simpler side of things, especially in the company today. Lift glass, pour down throat. Nose and palate show light arugula spice. Poached tree fruit notes.

2015 vintage

Still nice tangy and young.

2015 vintage

Bone dry and a fascinating palate. Not what you'd expect from a Riesling. Or, at least, not what I'd expect. Plenty of stone fruit, strawberry, honeydew melon. Good acidity, seashore minerality. This is a winner from a killer vintage.

2015 vintage

Not overly complex but I really liked this especially for the price. It also made it strong 3 night by just screwing the cap on. Very crisp with tons of acidity. Lemon zest, minerality and some vanilla.

2015 vintage

Very fizzy on opening, clearly some refermentation in bottle. Quite a ripe and full-bodied wine in this vintage. Baked yellow apples, some tropical fruits (mango?) and a good dose of black pepper, a vegetal streak, some bitter flavored citrus, but not as fresh and mineral as usual, a rather warm mouthfeel. Still slightly tight and young. Will neeed to retaste it, but currently this is not a vintage that thrills me. I might prefer the fresher style of 2016. - …

2015 vintage

Very nice QPR, with lime, great minerality and good acidity.

2015 vintage

Green apricots and plum, kiwi and tropical citrus, rich on the nose. Wow, rich mid, thick, tropical fruit, great acid, totally dry, long sour plum finish, damn good.

2015 vintage

Great balance & flavour concentration. Tropical fruits, guava, med+ acidity.

2015 vintage

lime green color, aromas of mineral and grass, tangy broad blend with some crisp acidity and sweet

2015 vintage

Nice. Tangy and young. Try next in mid 2018.

2015 vintage

The nose was floral and exotic with saline minerality, young peach, crushed stone and ripe apple. On the palate, I found soft, enveloping textures with balancing acidity, notes of peach, lemon and inner florals. The finish was long, floral and exotic with lingering notes of peach of minerals.

2015 vintage

Faint pale yellow. Bright and lively mineral water and lime aromas. Palate picks up a slight touch of herbal weight for substance. Great at lunch. Made for summer.

2015 vintage

Lemon/lime, white pulp fruits, nice acidity, good body/weight. Mineral note. Slightly bitter but pleasant finish. More weight/concentration than their entry-level Domaene GV.

2015 vintage

Tight, crunchy arugala. A sweet little jam notes Bill. Tight and clean on the palate. Very fresh. Serve with Salads.

2015 vintage

Very fresh and zingy, with citrus and green apple fruit surrounding a nice creamy core that got more apparent as it got warmer and more aerated. Slightly oily texture on the palate. Tooth melting acidity in the finish, as well as that peppery rush. Fabulous with asparagus risotto.

2015 vintage
