Pears, oranges, ginseng, tarragon and hints of salted caramel on the nose. It’s full-bodied, compact and flavorful, with savory, subtly smoky undertones. Excellent concentration. Drink or hold.

Intense aromas of candied pineapple, mango chutney and a touch of dill make this a strikingly original gruner vetliner. Plenty of power and structure on the medium- to full-bodied palate. There are also zesty citrusy acidity and plenty of candied lemon peel character in the long, bold finish. (Stuart Pigott)

This is marked by a spicy ginseng edge to the yellow stone and citrus fruit. Chopped herbs, too. It’s full of flavor, full-bodied and layered, yet with fantastic freshness and a long, vibrant finish. Drink or hold. (S. Pigott)
Jancis Robinson: 17,5 points
Fragrant bitter-orange aromas – nearly vermouth-like in its herbal intensity. Rich spice on the full-bodied palate, drying and deep. A slender, stony vein adds to the concentrated tension. Long, zesty, and sublime. (Paula Sidore)

The Wine Advocate 09/22: 94 points
Offers a clear, refined and detailed, very elegant and balanced bouquet of ripe fruits and finely weathered rocks that give a flinty tone. On the palate, this is a saline, tightly woven and very elegant Grub Veltliner with fine and stimulating phenolic grip and salinity. This is an excellent Grub again, and it already drinks very well, although I would cellar it for another year or two. This is a superb wine to have with freshwater fish for example. (S.Reinhardt)

Tons of orange-zest, white-chocolate and fresh-herbs aromas pull you into this expressive gruner veltliner that marries richness and elegant acidity neatly. With more complexity at the finish this would rate even higher.
JANCIS ROBINSON - Austrias Top Gruners: 17 points
Aromas of summer lily, wet grass and apple peel. Plenty of spice on the refreshing palate, offset by ripe Williams pear and quince. Good balance, and well behaved with a mild, drying texture and a heady finish.(Paula Sidore)
