Weingut Ewald Gruber
Mühlberg Grüner Veltliner
Weinviertel, Niederösterreich, Austria
Bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of seared pineapple and yellow flowers. Firm acidity leads the medium palate of orange rind, yellow flowers, white pepper, and a hint of anise on the short-ish, but not unusual, finish. Excellent GV with more elegant layers of flavors than your typical Gruner. Want a special white for that Central European fare? This should be near the top of your list. Pork tenderloin with apples and asparagus were my go to. Drink now through 2024.

FANTASTIC Gruner. Round, complex, lightly tropical fruit with perfect acidity. More complex than the average gruner we’re drinking mid week. $30 from Total Wines - will def buy again

Golden yellow color with aromas of tropical fruits and hints of aromatic scents. On the palate melon, banana and kiwi flavors with undertones of apple and pear, very complex. A full-body white with good balance and acidity. To me it appears that the wine had a bit of oak aging, but I forgot to ask Franz (from winery gave me private tasting). The wine finished with a mineral citrus tang on a long ending. Very Nice! Tasting Sample.

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.

2023. First time having some asparagus this spring (on crostini with chèvre and cherry tomatoes) and grabbed this Grüner Veltliner to pair with it. Worked great!
