Ried Renner Kamptal Erste Lage Grüner Veltliner 2016

9.1

Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!

I had the ‘15 a few months back and this seems much more fresh! Just a killer example of gruner. Classic. Smells of white pepper and a freshly opened can of green beans (weird, I know). There is even a creamy nature to this on the palate. Hay, chalk, limestone and bright stone fruits. Wonderful. Thanks @Jeff Meyer . — 9 days ago

Bursting with bright flavor and a little zing in the mouthfeel. Definitely the best Grüner I’ve had. Will get more. — 16 days ago

Good, if a bit simple. On the nose, lemons and wet rocks. In the mouth, bright citrus, white pepper and acidity. Decent length. Decent QPR. — 8 days ago

Love this. How could I not? If kittens were dancing to NIN in could not step away any more than I could this, which was very bright and blistering of honey, apples and orange blossom. If blossoms can bluster. Terrific fun in a bottle. — 9 days ago

@Severn Goodwin but isn’t there that story The Owl and the Pussycat? I don’t remember if they got along in it though. Hmmm

Mineral driven white. Straw gold color. Yellow apple with a hint of pink grapefruit and lime zest. Lots of acidity and brightness. Great body and balance. Quite good. Thanks John — 18 days ago
