Singing with fondue. Green olives, lime zest, honey. Broad in the mouth. Just the right amount of acidity. Long.

An awesome GV with plenty of aromatics and layers. Yellow fruits, leesy, toast/smoke, floral, talcum, and chalky mineral notes. Round and full on the palate with a considerable finish. Just the perfect amount of starchy GV funk. Over performs for the price.

Nose is light and green: apple, pear, hay, funk. Palate zings along with more of the same. Very well-made. Beautiful notes, structure, and balance. Lacking only that extra layer of complexity which would place it in the top rank.

What a seriously enjoyable Gruner. Savory and restrained fruity aromas of smoked peaches, yellow apple, ginger, flint, and white pepper. Soft and mineral driven with incredible complexity. Gorgeous flinty, peppery, barely salinic finish.

Very solid Gruner at a good price point from a great producer. Minerally with lots of great acid. Textured on the palate. Very nice.
