“The best Gruner in the world”

Gruner is a crazy ass grape, and I drink the low cost liters like they’re water.

But when it’s done on a world class level it’s such an understatedly intense wine - WIDTH in your mouth, like taste it from every corner. A very different finish than you’d find in a French Chardonnay.

Cool to try. Appreciate the experience, and for $50 it’s rare to be able to taste one of the best around. — 5 years ago

Can’t imagine paying $100+ for this, but it is a viscous, layered, tropical stunner. Pineapple and apricot spread to every corner of the palate with a long, luxurious finish. Teriyaki glazed pork? Soup dumplings? What to pair this with? Awesome wine with another fifteen years ahead of it. — 6 years ago

Beautiful deep aromas of beeswax with notes of ripe melon and candied ginger. Full, rich, creamy and slightly off-dry on the palate. Citrus and tropical fruit fill the mouth followed by deep, gripping minerality and a touch of spice. — 10 years ago

Austria's icon and finest wine producer - FX Pichler. One of the top wineries in Austria, specifically located in the Wachau Valley. The winery itself was created on 1898. Of the 18 hectares owned by a family, almost a half are planted to Riesling, the rest is almost entirely Grüner Veltliner.
The wine:
Riesling Federspiel Loibner Burgstall
This wine is strong and clear, fruit-driven Riesling with mineral notes. Love it. — 9 years ago
