Viviser Gutedel
Germany
Astonishing value. Nose is granny smith apple skins. Minerals. Light flowers. Really expressive and lovely wet earth. Textured and rich but also energetic and acid driven. Lovely inner mouth confectionery aromas as well and sneaky length. Insane value. Really focused with terrific mouthfeel. Almost. 9.3.

Nov 3rd, 2022Lively nose with grilled nuts, salt, some light peach and melon notes. Honey notes as well. Very fruity for a Gutedel. Palate is rich and lively with great acids and freshness. Lovely combo of rich and tensile. Juicy! Just a lovely wine. Love to see this BTG all over the USA!

Fascinating nutty wine- when I smell it my brain is filled with images of chestnuts and almonds then minerality, this would be such a good card to have up your sleeve to pair in restaurant. I served it with smoked squash soup with ayurvedic spices. Niche and nice!

Didn’t really know what the heck was going on - at first it was white burgundy - like Pouilly Fuisse - very elegant tho fairly reductive nose of Granny Smith apples & lemon/lime notes along w/wet stones, rocks & gravel. Acid bomb on palate, just rigid angular razor sharp Teutonic precision. Again, not a ton of fruit here, very restrained. Maybe more Chablis-like? I appreciate the esoteric varietals here and the craftsmanship…

Tastes like a high quality white Burgundy. A profound wine of power and beauty. Blew all other 10 Gutedels/Chasselas‘s out of the water. Although my co-Tasters from Baden did not agree because his style and vinfication is different. Reductive. Quite stinky nose which blows off. Awesome, especially the next day. Hazelnut, plenty of acid, marble dust, lime, hint pine needles. Some tannins. Build to last. This is great! At a friends house in Freiburg im Breisgau.
