Quite tart and funky - but a really fun summer wine. — 5 years ago
I thought this was boxy at first but it comes together after a few days. It’s what you expect from a great biodynamic producer like Meinklang - an entry level Pinot with high acid, lean and crusty minerals forming into red fruit and soil. You roll the dice when you play with Pinot and this is as good as you can get for about $26. Just give it time to breathe. — 5 years ago

Meinklang makes delicious skin contact wines. This Graupert is based on Pinot Gris. Apple and orange aroma with a funky note. Taste of ripe apples and tea. Dry and the slightly bitter finish is on the shorter side. Cellar temperature is cold enough for this orange wine. — 5 years ago
Meinklang is one of my favorite producers anywhere and we finally scored most of their lineup for the first time I can remember in Austin. Like Foradori, Meinklang is a picturesque self-sustaining Demeter certified biodynamic and organic farm which happens to make insanely good wines.
This is just about the prettiest shade of Pinot Grigio (aka Grauburgunder) I’ve ever seen.
It’s expertly assembled - sour honeyed tangerine and apricot.
Graupert is slang for a scruffy or wild soul - the Pinot gris is grown untrimmed, left to spread its vines wild.

Mein favorite type of wine — 6 years ago
Very juicy energetic Pinot Noir. Red fruit, cherry, cranberry with some forest floor and stone minerality. Bright acidity and style due to cool climate. Oxidative on nose but blows off eventually. — 6 years ago
Cloudy yellow-orange. Light fizz, apple and just a bit of funk. Extremely pleasant. — 7 years ago
Mild fizz and big notes of dark fruit. Blackberries, figs, and some light tannins. Definitely a more serious wine than what Meinklang typically churns out. Tasty. — 5 years ago
A salty acid bomb. Some herbal undertones and lime notes rising above it all. The acids settle down after about 30 min, but still very prominent throughout the bottle. — 5 years ago
tastes like beer and apple cider — 6 years ago
Damn good wine. Didn’t blow me away but it made me smile. That’s all we are looking for in this life. — 6 years ago
Pinot Noir, simply delicious — 6 years ago
