Winzer Krems
Orange Grüner Veltliner
Star bright burnt orange. Inviting nose of dried apricot and tiger lily. Medium light palate, led by firm, crisp acidity, yields dried apricot and orange, cinnamon bark, and terra cotta. Very light tannic structure asserts mid palate to the lengthy cleansing finish. Is it an interesting take on GV with an unusual production? Or is it an interesting take on orange wine with an unusual grape? Either way, it's definitely an interesting wine with a place in your everyday chiller. Food friendly and able to withstand heartier fare than its traditional cousins. Try with salmon with cream sauce and asparagus. Drink now.

Fun twist on a Gruner with a distinctive orange twist. Still light, bright, and approachable. The lime is replaced with a rose-like tart strawberry, but the flint flavor is still there. Feels like a Gruner that could stand up to more sturdy meals than your typical GV.

Refreshing but not too tart; grapefruit zest, tangerine pith, fresh almonds, chamomile flowers, dried apricot, zippy lingering fresh ginger spice on nose and palate. Gets more interesting outta the fridge on the second day, the apricot more pronounced in the bouquet with a hint of honeysuckle and a whiff of cotton candy; palate is mellower and fruitier. Would buy again
