Stockwerk Grüner Veltliner

Terrific.

I like. And got at Vinovore the female-centric new wine store close to me! I'm trying to, one wine at a time, work my way through the wines I'd never (at least rarely) guess on a blind tasting. I so rarely drink the Gruners...I'd be stumped on this. The ripe citrus and apple-y fruit might make me say maybe Chenin Blanc. The slight gas may make me say Riesling but the acid isn't high enough. For Riesling or Chenin. The spicy notes plus honey would lead me to say maybe Pinot Gris. I'm having a hard time picking up the arugula and white pepper notes that are a Gruner tell. This has a healthy amount of spiciness and very ripe lemon contrasted with a spiciness that reminds me I need to sniff white pepper on the daily until I immediately recognize it. All these things aside, this is balanced with medium plus acid, medium plus intensity, medium plus complexity and oh a medium finish. Quality. It goes from citrus to a brief hit of honey then moves into arugula. Okay the more I contemplate the way I should know intellectually it is a Gruner. It's just I never drink them so I don't think of them. I'd pair this with a salad topped with roasted plums and peaches and maybe some sort of salty cheese and a garlicky toast. Dang I'm making NY black and white cookies right now but now am having savory cravings...these cookies aren't gonna pair up...

Meyer lemon, pear, with some honey drizzled on top. Easy drinker.

Love this. So elegant. If ever there was a Glug Glug wine for the summer. This is it. Flowers and fruit. Searing acid. Delightful.

Very good value. Like a lot. Improved after being open 24h. from WS

Very pure.

Not very typical for a GruVe with a nose full of exotic & citrus fruit with hints of honey and, much like a Chenin.
On the palate however this is much more typical, with the yeasty-peppery notes complementing the pure fruit. Light yet with character and nicely balanced in a slightly Kabinett off-dry style.
Pure sipping pleasure.

Biodynamic. Meyer lemon, pear, yeast driven notes which round out the acidity. Fresh, herbaceous, paired well with spicy tuna tartare.

Not great but ok. Mild fruity flavor with a slightly bitter finish.

Lovely. Heavy body with apricots and peaches.
