I’m enjoying this one, so I keep scrounging for bottles at clearance priced
Mar 8th, 2021Clearance priced at my local supermarket, only Grüner in the joint. But is it so old it’s past peak? (Given wholesaler practices in my home state of Arizona, entirely possible) light straw, excellent clarity. Clean nose with some floral and mineral notes. Nice acidity finishing toward a lactic-citric blend. Light on the citrus flavors, maybe lemon pith and grapefruit peel, some spice also. Not quite bone dry. Better with food, and better an hour or two after opening. Still life in this bottle, not peaked yet, perhaps. A more structured experience than fruit forward, however. Not that typical a Grüner then...

Tastes like a citrus salad — grapefruits, limes, and lemons. The refreshing acid is welcome on this rainy afternoon.

The wines are made by veteran French winemaker Christian Roguenant. Zocker (Austrian word for Gambler) owned by the Niven Family Wine Estates. Straw yellow with tropical and stone fruit aromas and hot spice. On the palate apricot and melon flavors with strong acidity and Cajun pepper spice. Crisp finish with minerality on the end. Needs food to enjoy.

Under ripe lime & grapefruit. High acidity with current of underlying sweetness. Reminiscent of NZ SB with 'a certain funky tanginess, reminiscent of the smell of guava or earwax. Apparently this is due to a chemical compound called p-mentha-8-thiol-3-one.'
