See the last note, just add to the fact that this is pretty typical of a Loiben based wine having a warmer climate with likely more loess soils.

Intense, dense, and weighty in form. Ethereal and airy in content.

Blind I honestly would've said Sauvignon Blanc: gooseberry, citrus with grapefruit rind - I didn't get the sea brine or arugula I usually associate with Gruner, but it was a very crisp and well made wine!
