"Notes of chalky earth and wet moss immediately lend resonance and wild freshness on nose. On the palate, several elements come alive. At first a bright, zesty notion of citrus and apple peel freshness, then a beautifully textured mouthfeel that is mouthwatering and juicy, followed by gorgous Mirabelle fruit and a savory note reminiscent of peppery, salty miso paste. The finish is an aura of clean, almost luminous freshness. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A very shy nose gives a faint hint of dandelion blossom and butter. The palate continues with this rounded, ripe and smooth theme, bringing out even more butteriness but also a textured counterbalance of pithy concentration that tingles on the tongue with pepper and hay notes. Both citrus and rounded butteriness unite for a lasting, mellow, rich finish. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A wonderfully funky notion of yeast precedes the full ripe yellow plum fruit on the nose and segues into a salty, spicy and peppery palate. Concentration and flavor reverberate with a lemony citrus zing. A great varietal expression of Grüner's dual spice and fruit nature in an elegant package with lots of drive."

"The scent of freshly cut, warm hay pervades the yeasty notes of this concentrated, ripe yet fresh and zingy Grüner. On closer acquaintance, riper notes of yellow pear appear, spiced with white pepper and grapefruit zest. The linear, sleek drive and vivacious energy are very satisfying indeed."

"Yeasty freshness swings along with the citrus, watercress, green pear and miso flavors, showing that this is made to last. Grüner's elementary savoriness is exemplified here with verve, weight and conviction. The length is stunning. the moreish flavors never seem to end. Drink as of 2017."

"Wonderfully rich, edging towards?and just avoiding?being too much. It is full-bodied, fruity, offering flavors of yellow fruits, orange zest and pineapple juice, the citrus flavors cutting right through all the richness. Worth aging. Imported by Vin Divino."

"The nose is fruity, mineral, elegant and racy. It reveals notes of crunchy nectarine, crunchy apple and small notes of quenette associated with fine touches of white flowers, quince as well as fine hints of racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of spices. The palate is elegant, beautifully built and offers delicacy, purity as well as an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quince, crunchy flat peach and small notes of juicy pear associated with fine touches of lychee, mango and flowers. Good length."
