Probably the best tasted at this Heuriger.  Green/silvery/gold in color.  The nose has limes, slight asparagus and white pepper.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this has some depth and complexity.  It unwinds in the glass.  Limes with some herbs and white pepper.  Long finish.  Drink over the next ten years.  A nice wine with grilled salmon.

Maybe my favorite vineyard from this winery   At least in 2021, very impressive   Green/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose takes a bit to open, then shows limes with slight pepper.  Medium bodied.  Oily texture.  On the palate, tart limes.  Nice depth.  Good finish but slight heat.  This needs a year or two to come together and then, should drink well for ten years.   Better with food.  This would be great with fried chicken

Very pretty Gruner.  Green/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is floral with green herbs (summer savory?).  medium bodied.  Light tannins.  This was one of the more minerals driven Gruner's tasted with a strong almost "granite" quality.  Also some tart lemons.  Good finish.  This begs for food.  Goat cheese would be an excellent match, especially and aged hard version.  Drink over the next five years.

Green/silvery gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is still quote tight.  Some lemons and a bit of white pepper.  Slightly oily texture.  Medium bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, lemons but some heat on the finish.  This needs more cellar time or at least a decant and it should improve.  Wait another year or two and drink over the next five.  Nice with cold cuts and cheese.

Consumed at the winery as part of a vertical of this wine from 18, 19, & 20.  Hay/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons, spice and lemon verbena.  Medium bodied.  Nice texture but a bit more disjointed than the 2019.  An hour in a decanter would benefit this wine.  On the palate, lemon candy and spice.  A bit of heat on the finish which again, is probably solved with a decant.  Still, an outstanding wine in its own right.  Nice on its own and better with foods.  Pasta primavera would be excellent.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.

Tasted at the winery as part of a vertical of 18, 19 & 20.  Much bigger, riper and more depth than the 2020 (at least at this stage).  Hay/Gold in color, clear and bright.  Wow, what a gorgeous nose.  Classic.  Floral (white flowers?), slight asparagus, and white pepper and a hint of spice.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  On the palate, lemon zest and lemon candy.  Good acidity.  Depth and tight complexity that opens in the glass.  Long finish.  This is drinking well now but may improve as it matures.  Drink over the next twelve to  fifteen years.  Great on its own, this will s

Drink as part of a vertical 18, 19 & 20 at the winery.  Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice.  Floral with slight pear and hints of anise.  More elegant in style with a slight velvety texture.  On the palate, lemons with a bit of salinity turning more green apple on the finish.  This seems to be open and drinking well now.  Good acidity.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.  This would work well with roasted Brussels Sprouts.

This is yet unreleased but is a spectacular wine.  The sample bottle served at the winery was decanted to allow the sulfur to blow off  bit.  This is a ripe but not over ripe wine that seems fully developed with just a hint of sharp corners at this point.  Light golden in color with a touch of green hues.  The nose is beautiful with a floral (maybe Edelweiss but probably more like Acacia) nose along with a touch of lemon verbena.  Light tannins.  Good but balanced acidity.  The palate has lemon peel, slight peppery notes and spice.  A long finish.  Delicious wine that is great on its own, b

This is sourced from various terraced vineyards and younger vines.  Screw capped.  Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is expressive.  Tangerine peel, peaches with a slight minerality.  Medium bodied.  Lively acidity.  On the palate, green apples, lemons, and minerals.  Lots of energy.  This is fresh and easy to drink but has some depth, too.  It is refreshing on its own but will work with goat chees and roasted beet salad. Drink over the next four to six years.

Another pretty special "premier cru" wine from this winery.  Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright.  What a great nose with  lemon zest, slight white pepper, hints of asparagus and herbal notes.  Crisp acidity.  Nice, slightly viscous texture.  On the palate, nice minerality with lemon zest and slight char.  Long finish.  This is delicious already and should still improve.  Drink over the next ten to twelve years.  This would work well with Lamb Curry.
