Laurenz V, Singing Gruner Veltliner, Kremstal

Pale & light straw in color with a slight spritz upon opening. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, grapefruit & limes, with overtones of floral notes & minerals, stony & a slight hint of chalkiness. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & zesty texture, crisp, ripe fruit flavors of limes, green apples & grapefruit with stony/minerals & a hint of chalky notes. Long bracing finish. Drinks well at present although it may develop …

First wine with oysters at Yandina wine tasting

2020 vintage

Medium to low acidity. Paired well with sushi/wasabi. I thought off dry more than dry. Was ok.

2020 vintage

In comparison to the 2018 Laurenz V Singing I've posted about before (https://www.cellartracker.com/note.asp?iWine=3520097&iNote=8430147&searchId=2B7074D1%23selected%253DW3520097_1_Kfd41d737e5540002555e0c869f8e8be8): - aroma is pretty much the same - acidity is quite a bit lower - not as much minerality - a bit sweeter It's fine, but I didn't enjoy this as much as the 2018.

2020 vintage

Nice wine and paired perfectly with my wife's roasted chicken dish. Crisp, complex, nice fruit and hints of spice. Would buy again.

2020 vintage

Crisp clean refreshing with a hint of effervescence. A tad sweet.

2020 vintage

I agree about this being a bit sweeter than other examples of Grüner Veltliner. Doesn't have the lemon-grapefruit-mineral tartness on the finish that other examples do. Good nevertheless.

2020 vintage

A tad sweet

2020 vintage

Simple et un peu trop anonyme.

2020 vintage

Very crisp and refreshing, very herbaceous smells at first on the nose before turning to white pepper and eventually becoming fruit forward, primarily green fruits such as pear and green apple. When first drank it is very acidic with a light sweetness and flavors of pineapple before eventually drying out. Paired perfectly with spicy chicken tacos.

2020 vintage

Features bright citrus aromas, fresh-cut grass and herbal undertones. Lively and energetic with a succulent finish.

2020 vintage

Made in a fresh style, this Gruner Veltliner is bright and zingy, with sherbet aromas and green apple and lemon on the palate. Good match for a Wiener Schnitzel or to a enjoy on its own.

2020 vintage

Less sweet then most Gewurztraminer. Solid for its price point.

2020 vintage

Unbelievable QPR, lovely bright floral bouquet, easy on the fruit and plenty of minerality. Love this wine, so says this is my last bottle

2014 vintage

This wine surprised me. Most every Gruner I've had is more grassy and very dry in nature, but this was borderline demi-sec in sweetness. Bit more flowers and less green. Acidity there, but also a heaviness underlying it. For a price point a very reasonable wine and one I'd order again even if I didn't seek it out.

2014 vintage

Inviting floral nose with typical spice of white pepper. Very smooth and round on the palate with citrus zest, good acidity and pleasant finish. Unbeatable quality for below €10 price tag. 100% Grüner Veltliner, which is the signature grape of Austria. Floral perfume of Riesling, refreshing zip of Sauvignon Blanc and lusciousness of Pinot Grigio. Lorenz V. is Kamptal based producer of only Grüner Veltliner wines of good quality.

2014 vintage

12.0% - Clear, med lemon / clean, med intensity - citrus, candied green apple, melon, fresh herbs, mineral / dry, med+ acidity, med body, med- intensity, med length.

2014 vintage

a bit sweet for me but bracing, fruity, and a good finish

2014 vintage

Opened not decanted and served chilled. Sweet white and yellow flowery fruit on the nose. Strong acidic attack on the entry with sour citrus and limestone mineralty. A touch of effervescence; noticeable alcohol; light to medium weight on the body; ends with a drying finish with green apple notes. Good.

2014 vintage

Smells like a chard and tastes like a sauv blanc blend.

2006 vintage

Drank this wine to start Top Chef night. Crisp and buttery with a hint of sweetness. Easy to drink, I think everyone can appreciate this wine.

2006 vintage

With Jill, Brill, Brad and Jen over Top Chef New York and Homemade Cast Iron Skillet Mac n Cheese. Nice balance showing unique cirspness, butteriness and earth notes all at once. Not a whole lot of depth in the palate but this medium bodied Gruner is a great buy at about 15 bucks.

2006 vintage

Citrusy nose with hints of toast and minerality. Nice flavors of lemon zest, peach, minerals, and melon. Very long finish of stone fruits and grapefruit. Good acidity. I enjoyed this wine.

2006 vintage

Very much enjoyed this. A vibrantly effervescent mineralaity. Just dances on the tongue. In a word... lively!

2006 vintage

Picked up a bottle to try after seeing the 90 rating in Wine & Spirits. At first was disappointed - when first opened, bottle showed minimal fruit and massive acidity. After a glass, I put it back in the fridge and didn't get back to it for 3 days. I was expecting to find a nice bottle of cooking wine by that point, but I was amazed at the intensity of the three day old wine - bursting with ripe …

2006 vintage

Tailing off or going into a dumb phase? Not as good as a bottle consumed at christmas.

2006 vintage

Very pale gold colour. The nose is gently scented with water melon and some lime. In the mouth, it's clean pure and nicely balanced. Again distinct melon notes and some minerals. Not a very exciting wine, but a nice easy going good quality drop.

2006 vintage

Are you sure?
