All flint and lime zest on the nose. With air this gained an earthy depth with crushed english ivy and floral violet notes. Very complex and wouls be a great wine to experiment with food pairing. I had to double check it was not Gruner Veltliner. 😁 — 4 years ago

Loibner Steinertal Smaragd Riesling 2014

About 3 years since my last bottle. This is fantastic now. On the nose: ripe peach, soft yeast, dense honeysuckle, soft petrol..so floral and intense. Fantastic acidity, and amazing density, lemon oil, peach, honey, then dripping with mineral intensity...wet stone, mineral oil, and the fruit recedes, only to reappear as soft lemon on the finish. Absolutely lovely. — 4 years ago

Wösendorfer Kirchweg Smaragd Riesling 2015

You can tell this is an absolutely gorgeous wine but may be in a muted phase right now. Pure, pristine mineral. Nectarine. Cuts like glass. — 2 years ago

Ried Burgstall Federspiel Riesling 2016

Mmmmm. Sleek, charming, and complex - I need to drink more Austrian Riesling on this level. A very precise medium-bodied stunner with generous fruit cradled in remarkable acidity.

More info: Burgstall is a windy plateau with sandy gneiss and granite soils. 84 cases imported to U.S. $35

Ried Klostersatz Federspiel Grüner Veltliner 2017

Fresh and vibrant. That prickle of false effervescence. Stone fruit and melon rind with that unmistakable Gruner viscosity. White pepper. Snow peas. It’s good, but tough to justify above $30. — 5 years ago

Weissenkirchner Achleiten Smaragd Riesling 2013

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. — 5 years ago

Nose displays white peach, green apple, lime, ripe starfruit, touch a dry hay, and hint of honey. The palate, bright and lively, is a bit leaner than the medium to fu body suggests. Fascinating bitter sweet on the finish.
Should drink more GV.

Dürnstein Wachau Grüner Veltliner 2018

Виноград выращивается на левом берегу Дуная на аллювиальной почве. В аромате - фенхель, яблоневый цвет, лайм, лимонная цедра, белый персик, карамбола, пчелиный воск. Ароматы 3-его ряда: ваниль, мёд. Кислотность - выше средней, очень приятная. Тельность - ниже сред. Вкус освежающий: желтое яблоко, зелёная груша, соль, белый перец. Послевкусие очень сочное, плотное, минеральные тона. Аккуратно, интеллигентно и гармонично. — 4 years ago

“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.

Wösendorfer Hochrain Smaragd Grüner Veltliner

One of the most profound & satisfying gruner’s I’ve had. Notes of white pear, daffodils, green peas, white pepper, with floral and almost marzipan qualities all come together harmoniously & dance on the tongue & drives home with an intense mineral backbone. Beautiful. — 6 years ago
