Acclaim
“The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Weinzierlberg was picked in a site that transitions from gneiss in the west to loess in the east and fermented in stainless steel. Green pear peel and candied angelica make for an aromatic nose. The palate has bite and concentration, coming in with freshness and peppery, spicy, savory verve. The mouthfeel is rounded and fluid, bedded on salty yeast, leaving a lovely tangy citrus feel along with the saltiness.” — Vinous, Feb 2024
“Peach and ripe green fruits are open in the glass. More intense on the nose than on the palate. Cool and crisp with moderate intensity.” – 16.5 points — Jancis Robinson, Sep 2023
