Bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of seared pineapple and yellow flowers. Firm acidity leads the medium palate of orange rind, yellow flowers, white pepper, and a hint of anise on the short-ish, but not unusual, finish. Excellent GV with more elegant layers of flavors than your typical Gruner. Want a special white for that Central European fare? This should be near the top of your list. Pork tenderloin with apples and asparagus were my go to. Drink now through 2024. — 4 years ago

What a great Temp! It really reminded me a strong West Texas Tempranillo. It paired well with Antelope blackstrap. — 6 years ago

Big, rich and bold. Lightly sweet up front and tart + spice on the back. A bit on the tart side of the spectrum for me. Tart fruits really pop! — 8 years ago
Shimmering pale straw w/flecks of green - big petrol on nose along w/finely detailed slate, lemon, lime and white flowers. Razor sharp acidity, angular w/slightest hint of silk - more citrus, slate & golden apple on palate leading to dry finish. Teutonic precision here. — 4 years ago
One of the signature grapes of Austria, deep lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, spice and fresh citrus notes. On the palate pear, melon and tangy lemon citrus flavors with herb and pepper spice. Well balanced, medium finish ending with mineral tones. Nice value, will benefit with some short term aging. — 4 years ago

The wine keeps evolving over a couple of hours. It gets cleaner with each tasting. The caramel color scared me at the outset, but it keeps improving — 7 years ago
This is the kind of thing you can only get inexpensively in Europe. Crispness belying it’s age. The vegetal notes from the Sauvignon balanced by the Chardonnay. I’d love to try it again in a decade. This was superb. — 7 years ago

Smells like “bubble gum” doesn’t taste that way but think this bottle is advanced due to storage because of an oxy note on palate. Nice acidity texture and length as you’d expect — 4 years ago

Smooth, rich berries. Mild bitter, tartness on initial taste transitions to a velvety smooth dark cherry fruit that is lightly sweet with a lingering dryness. Pairs well with spicy food — 8 years ago
