Heiligenstein Grüner Veltliner
Great gruner, overachieves. Lots of fruit, little bit of vegetal character and bracing acidity. Yum.

Mar 29th, 2018Great value match for strong flavours and spices, just enough body to hold up to Szechuan cuisine without being too crisp and zingy

2 people found it helpfulMay 8th, 2015The perfect pairing with the hoisin, ginger, rice & sherry vinegar, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, chili sauce, white pepper, Tabasco, Tarmari soy sauce, fresh cilantro and roasted jalapeño Tomahawk Pork Chop. The wine on it's own 9.2 & a 9.4 with the meal. This is a very similar recipe that Mustard's Grill serves in Napa. My facsimile recreation. Pretty damn tasty.

1 person found it helpfulMar 2nd, 2015Grapefruit, limes and limestone on the nose. Pink & regular grapefruit, lime, green apples, beautiful green melon, yellow florals, refined, grippy, amazing minerality, perfect acidity and a beautiful long ripe, round, finish. For those of you that haven't jumped on to try Gruner Veltliner, this is one try as the 13 vintage is sensational. Looks like it's also available through Delectable for a decent price. Great on it's own and pairs well with those hard to pair green vegetables...like asparagus etc..

Jan 21st, 20172013 vintage: Light gold color. Deep complex and very inviting aroma. (Old worldly but completely clean aromas). Tangerine, spritz Apple jiuce. Limes and dry rocks very interesting arimas. Gramma's bosom warmth... Inviting aromas. Dried citrus candy notes. Wow!
Richer style with round texture but remains fresh and medium vibrant. Warm light oak char, world class.
Well centered acid / fruit balance. Sophisticated and like good ripe Chablis. River stones and mild chalk in finish. Long and super well made.
Awesome !!
