My first Austrian wine, not bad. Quite refreshing. Tropical nose with notes of pear, mineral, fresh apple. Nice smooth and subtle burn for a finish.

Great Grüner with bright acidity, citrus, and the typical mineral flavors of the region. Grassy undertones give this wine a little more complexity.

Nice fruit with a dry finish. A wine that needs to get more attention.

Wine 1 of 4 of another world tour of wines purchased at Total Wine. The
Grüner Veltliner grape is by far the most widely grown grape in Austria. The variety is a bit unusual, as it is an offspring of Traminer and St. Georgen, the second parent being of local descent in Austria. The wines can run sweet to off-dry with flavor from stone fruit to citrus. Paired this one with a Mushroom-Swiss chard quiche and was not disappointed. Great price point! ~$14 | #totalwine #grunerveltliner #austrianwine
On the eyes: Starbright straw yellow, light stain, light legs. No floc - gas/effervescence observed.
On the nose: Unripe pear and green apple, lemon rind, vanilla, honey, and floral notes. Med- alcohol.
On the tongue: Light tannin, med+ acid, med- alcohol, effervescent with a nice round mouthfeel. Off-dry. Citrus poached pear/apple that finishes with an herbaceous mineralty. Med finish, med body.

A very approachable, but interesting wine. Light, crisp, but not dominated by acid or citrus like albarino or riesling can be. Nicely effervescent, similar to a vinho Verde.
