The nose is very minerally with chalky and flinty notes, apple juice, honey, and lemony notes, too. The palate shows a great acid drive, much more focused than most GV numbers I have had so far. I like its tension a lot! Apple juice and lemony notes all along, a soft, easy-going mouthfeel, a bit of grip in the rear, and a long finish with the same fruity notes and a chalky feel to it. This is not vert complex but super well made. I could picture myself sipping on this and serving it to both wine nerds and casuals alike at the party at home without a problem. — 2 months ago
Light straw color. Interesting fruit driven aromas of ripe pears, tropical fruit and citrus with hints of fresh herbs. Mixed bag of the same fruits on the palate with additional notes of unripe peach, minerals, green beans and those fresh herbs. Nice earthy note on the tongue tingling finish. Wonderful compliment to food. (Especially green food) So fresh and alive! Great QPR. — a month ago
Yellow with a greenish hue in color. Lime on the front palet and tart green apple on the back palet. Crisp and fresh. There was definite improvement after being opened for a day, recorded, and stored at 40F. I’m still warming up to the Grüner varietal!!! — 2 months ago
