Covered in a rich, earthy, funk, but still precise. White pepper, buckets of lemon juice, & snap peas. Finish breaks away from the fruit & gives you an enjoyable mineral driven finish.

White pepper, pickle brine and citrus. Exactly what I need right now.

2013. Best new DC restaurant of the year (so far), and this wine carried a diverse range of intense flavors in the food very well

Racy and waxy. Citric fruit with just a hint of fat on the finish.

Doesn't hit the consistent high notes of Knoll, but delivers a slightly richer style without compromising the fresh, bright character I love to find in Gruner.

A good counterpoint to the Alte Reben. Higher on the crisp/fresh scale & a bit less plump. An excellent example of a great producer exploring stylistic differences.
