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
Nice crisp dry white wine - paired well with poke bowls. Would definitely buy this again! — 6 years ago
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 4), HK GRUBER (Aerial, Concerto for trumpet and orchestra) with the amazing Håkan Hardenberger as the trumpet soloist and then STRAUSS (“Dance of the Seven Veils” from Salome). Andris and Håkan happen to be friends, and both are trumpet players, I expect to see some playful nature to their interaction this afternoon. Mr. Hardenberger is a world renowned and virtuousic player, we're always glad to hear him, this will be his 4th Tanglewood appearance in 5 years. We expect various mutes to be employed over the work, a cow horn (yes it is want you think) and then finishing with piccolo trumpet, exciting to have a soloist work multiple instruments over his appearance
Nose has strawberry-banana smoothie, light crushed red raspberry and freshly washed cherry.
Palate has red currant, red raspberry, slight grassy note and faint wet sandstone.
Exciting to get back to this bottle. Our last experience was directly off tank (Fall '18) which was tapped by Morten for us, very cloudy then, but flavors were beginning to come together. 100% Pinot Noir. — 7 years ago
Gamay weight and texture with a dark cherry flavor and an herbal finish. Easy drinking and refreshing. — 8 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. — 2 months ago
Light, bright, and refreshing. Great value — 4 years ago
One of the signature grapes of Austria, deep lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, spice and fresh citrus notes. On the palate pear, melon and tangy lemon citrus flavors with herb and pepper spice. Well balanced, medium finish ending with mineral tones. Nice value, will benefit with some short term aging. — 5 years ago
The wine keeps evolving over a couple of hours. It gets cleaner with each tasting. The caramel color scared me at the outset, but it keeps improving — 7 years 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

Lingenfelder Vineyard only; not up to standard of the Ewald or Parson Vineyard of Lingenfelder. 2016 vintage - a bit raw, either needs aging or just simply not as good. Avoid ordering. — 8 years ago
