Not quite earthy, not quite acidic. Some would call it balanced, I call it missing identify.

Bursting brightness with fizzy lemon zest! Subtle hints of pears and spice. Crisp and medium bodied. Very delicious!

Pale yellow in color. Aromas of citrus and pear. Crisp minerality and a hint of white pepper on the palate. A very good alternative to popular white varietals. From wine tasting at Total Wine & More.

Drank 2/21/19. Tasting event. Tasting pour.

Lemon and green apple on the nose. Light flavors of citrus, and flinty minerality, lighter on the acidity. A wine that would pair well with seafood.

2/21/7/5/2 +50 = 87 pts.

Good ol' Gruner. Spicy, zesty, and attitudinal is the style of this wine. Much like a child of Pinot Grigio and Assyrtiko of there was one. Granny Smith apple skin, white pepper, lemon zest, candied ginger, - a flavor that reminds me the taste of peppery arugula lettuce, in fact a perfect combo in my mind.

Clear straw yellow color.  Aromas of tropical fruits with gentle scents. Palate shows citrus fruit flavors, a touch of peach and crisp apple. The medium body wine finished with spicy notes. Not a bad Gruner for the price. Tasting Sample.
