Underwood Mountain Vyd, Columbia Gorge, Grüner Veltliner, Pétillant Naturel. Cloudy, yellow white. Lime-citrus notes express in nose and mouth. No brioche or toast notes but there’s something bakery in there. Exceeded my expectations though by the time I got to it it wasn’t so bubbly. Still, me like. — 13 days ago

Very impressed! Clear straw color, aromas of stone fruit, Washington red apple and black currant. Dry, great crisp finish. Lots of citrus, fruit and minerals. I wish I was having some spicy food! — 9 years ago

Clearance priced at my local supermarket, only Grüner in the joint. But is it so old it’s past peak? (Given wholesaler practices in my home state of Arizona, entirely possible) light straw, excellent clarity. Clean nose with some floral and mineral notes. Nice acidity finishing toward a lactic-citric blend. Light on the citrus flavors, maybe lemon pith and grapefruit peel, some spice also. Not quite bone dry. Better with food, and better an hour or two after opening. Still life in this bottle, not peaked yet, perhaps. A more structured experience than fruit forward, however. Not that typical a Grüner then... — 6 years ago

White flowers, brioche, beer bottle cap, dried thyme. Snapping acidity, frothy mousse, compact racy bubbles, crisp floral-citrus zest finish. Base wine is emphasized and present, not always the case in new world sparklers. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2023 | I almost never drink a glass of wine just by itself… but always at dinner. My wine friends critize me if I state: this is a dinnerwine to eat with. They say: wine must be good by itself, Peter. I advocate that wine tastes much better with food. This grüner veltliner is kind of middle of the road (at this moment) when you drink it by itself. We combined it with a baguette with goose rillettes. Like opening the himmel/heaven a bit. 😝 — 2 years ago

All proceeds to Walla Walla’s SOS Clinic, free, nonprofit health services. Pale yellow, floral and peach aromas, peach and lemon flavors. Crisp, light skin astringency. Mineral and slightly lactic finish. A good cause, and a pretty good take on this varietal. Enjoy. — 3 years ago

Served blind by me at Sue Bell’s dinner party with Bruce Redman. After being tricked by Sue all week with blind tastings at the winery I was determined to get square. She was up to the task getting just the state wrong. Once I said Adelaide Hills she knew it was a Gruner. Hahndorf Hill are acknowledged as the best producers of Gruner in Australia. Taking its lead from the GV’s of Austria’s Kamptal region. Grapefruit, Citrus and stone fruit. A multi award winner on the Australian Show circuit. A gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards London 2020. — 6 years ago
