Pale straw without a hint of brick. Carmelized pear and vanilla on the nose, no alcohol despite a whopping 14.5 ABV. Delicious vanilla apple and pear with a bit of butterscotch on the palate. Holding quite well despite 6 or 7 years in the bottle. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 6 months ago
Morillon vom Opok
Biodynamic Chardonnay from Steiermark.
Cloudy, smokey, yeasty, sappy, fresh!
Bruised apples, ripe lemons, underripe pineapple, green mango. Plus some hay, flinty, smokey aromas. Juicy, fresh, enticing.
On the palate with vibrant acidity, with great freshness & depth. Rough around the edges, with a touch of cidery notes, a bit of VA. There’s a creamy touch to the mouthfeel. And a mineral hint. This is ultra drinkable and so delicious. Love it! — 4 years ago
Earthy and leather notes. Dark berries. Slightly tannic and a smooth lingering finish. — 5 years ago

Smells like “bubble gum” doesn’t taste that way but think this bottle is advanced due to storage because of an oxy note on palate. Nice acidity texture and length as you’d expect — 5 years ago

Ried Mühlberg – Grüner Veltliner – 2023
Austria 🇦🇹
Overview
A classic yet expressive Grüner Veltliner from the Mühlberg vineyard (“Ried”), showcasing the varietal’s signature freshness, minerality, and versatility. Crafted in a clean, vibrant style that balances fruit and structure beautifully.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright and layered with tropical fruit notes, green apple, citrus, and a subtle white pepper spice. Hints of stone fruit and a mineral edge add depth and intrigue.
Mouthfeel
Crisp and refreshing with lively acidity. Medium-light body with a clean, mineral-driven finish that keeps the palate energized and wanting another sip.
Food Pairings
Perfect with schnitzel, seafood, sushi, salads, roasted vegetables, or lightly spiced Asian dishes. Also shines as a standalone sipper.
Verdict
A Grüner that never disappoints, fresh, expressive, and beautifully balanced. Equally enjoyable for casual sipping or a more attentive, sophisticated palate.
Did You Know?
Grüner Veltliner is Austria’s flagship grape and is famous for its natural affinity with food, especially dishes that are notoriously hard to pair, like asparagus or artichokes.
🍷 Personal Pick
One of those go-to whites that quietly overdelivers, easygoing on the surface, but with enough layers to keep things interesting. — 3 months ago
Really special Austrian chardonnay. Definitely drinking again b — 9 months ago
Delicious fruity zin that’s holding up beautifully. A bit of oxidation although no pronounced off aroma or palette. Remarkable how this rich ripe wine has consistently delivered fruit and supple tannins after 10+ years. Tribute to Mr. Scherrer. — 3 years ago

Deep only purple. Fruity peppery nose. Absolutely delicious cool-climate Syrah. Black fruits and a bit of white pepper. Drink now or soon. Fruitiness is a major attribute that may not hold too long. — 16 days ago
