Barbara Ohlzelt "Kellerweingarten" Kamptal Gruner Veltliner 2017
91
Our Score
(5/2019) A winemaker known for favoring focus and intensity, Barbara Ohlzelt is producing some of the best Kamptal Gruner Veltliner available at this price. Pear, green apple, lime zest and pepper complement the generous structure indicative of Gruner of this quality. Fresh and delicious now but has enough acidity to show well over the next few years!

(12/1/2017) "The nose is shy, showing just a few herbal hints reminiscent of yarrow. Frothy bubbles, however, pronounce the varietal character of Grüner Veltliner, revealing an appealing textural element as well as herb-tinged pear fruit. Fresh, dry and light on its feet, this would be a lovely apéritif."

Barbara Ohlzelt "Gruner Leader" Kamptal Gruner Veltliner 2017

(9/2018) Barbara Ohlzelt's entry-level Gruner is a fascinating glimpse into her style of winemaking. It is classic Gruner but in a very quiet, understated package. Look for notes of snap peas and crunchy cucumbers, followed by a nice salted lime kick. There is a lot of energy in this bottle, and as always, we are happy to have Gruner in a liter bottle!

(8/31/2017) "The 2015 Steiner Kogl 1OTW Gruner Veltliner has golden-yellow color and opens with a deep, clear, aromatic, fresh and spicy/flinty bouquet of ripe fruits. Full-Bodied, rich and elegant on the palate, with a fresh and mineral appearance and piquant acidity, this is a powerful, lush and very aromatic Gruner Veltliner with dense and concentrated yellow fleshed stone fruit, fine tannins and 13.5% alcohol. Crystalline and round. Drink Date 2020 - 2030."

The Fableist "426" Edna Valley Gruner Veltliner 2018
90+
Our Score
(6/2019) Do you remember the awesome "Hans Gruner" cans from Andrew Jones we carried the past two summers? Well, now that Andrew has sold off his canning operation, he is putting that gorgeous Grüner Veltliner into bottles! This delicious and refreshing "Gru-V" comes from Paragon and Morro View vineyards in Edna Valley. It is aged in a combination of 80% stainless steel tank and 20% neutral barrel. The result is a bright, nearly full-bodied wine with mouthwatering citrus zest, fresh pear, ripe peach and a dash of white pepper on the long finish. This is a serious effort that is going to make a wide range of white wine lovers VERY happy.

Wimmer-Czerny "Fumberg" Gruner Veltliner 2017
93
Wine Advocate
(12/28/2018) "Hans Czerny's 2017 Grüner Veltliner Fumberg is a picture book "GV" from the Wagram. The subtle bouquet is bright, fine and fresh but also ripe and just beautifully balanced, with a very delicate and fresh, even flinty-scented aroma. Highly delicate and elegant on the palate, this is a stimulating, piquant and salty Veltliner with both tension and finesse. It is also stimulatingly pure and salty in the finish. For many, many years this has been one of my favorite Grooners in all Austria because it is so delicate, like almost no other wine from this variety. If you are looking for the finest Veltliners of the 2017 vintage, Czerny's highly delicious, biodynamic 2017 Fumberg should be one of your choices. Tasted in Vienna, September 2018. Drink Date 2018 - 2033."

Nigl "Freiheit" Niederosterreich Gruner Veltliner 2017

Wine Spectator
(1/17/2019) "The 2016 Nigl bottling of this vibrant white was included in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2018. Martin Nigl, who owns the winery with his family and is the winemaker, blends Grüner grapes from four different parcels in Kremstal. He practices sustainable farming, never using pesticides, which helps bring out vitality in the plants. The wine is spontaneously fermented in stainless-steel tanks, allowing the terroir to shine through. An exuberant style, gaining a fizzy impression from the minerality. The core expresses peach, tarragon and cardamom details, but the savoriness takes the front seat. Very well-built, with focused acidity and a vivid structure. Echoing finish. Drink now through 2027."
