Very complex, layers of sweet lime, apricot, some flowers and green apple. Delightful milky texture. — 10 years ago
Pure essence of GV. Fresh, intensive with floral and fruits aromas. A bit of minerality and papper. — 11 years ago
Further outtakes ... Brilliantly on point, although Alzinger always is. — 11 years ago

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 10 years ago

Another acidic wine that was good for pairing. This one was a white. Pretty good, but not my favorite. — 8 years ago
Stunningly complex and alive, this is what I was hoping to find when opening an older bottle of Smaragd Gruner Veltliner.
The color was medium gold, no hint at all of age here.
The nose however started to put us where we were thinking, but there was still some youth. A deep and penetrating nose of golden delicious apples, yellow plums, and quince paste. The nose was so deep I wanted to jump into the glass!
The palate was exceptional, perfectly balanced with excellent density, breadth and a crazy long finish of minerals, fine acidity and subtle, juicy golden fruits.
An epic wine for me and a new benchmark for Gruner for my palate.
To add to the magic I walked the vineyard earlier in the day. — 9 years ago
