Acclaim
“This is a ripe, open and fruity wine, that’s still very fresh and crisp. It has fragrant apple flavor, soft texture and a bright and juicy core that radiates a rounded character with finishing acidity.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2013
“Lentil, lime and cress inhabit a glossy, juicy palate in the intro-level Stadt Krems 2012 Grüner Veltliner, which nicely demonstrates how analytically low acidity and high ripeness in this vintage by no means precluded levity and refreshment. The finish here is succulently, satisfyingly sustained, integrating invigorating cut and piquancy.”
— David Schildknecht, Apr 2014
