* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine, from the Loibner vineyard near Dürnstein, is rich, packed with pepper and spice flavors, and also shows some smoky mineral characters. It is powerful and concentrated, a good expression of the intensity that Grüner Veltliner can attain in the eastern end of the Wachau. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

A brilliant, fresh wine, beautifully integrated, bringing together green apple, papaya and intense acidity. The texture has spice, nutmeg and ginger to go with the taut minerality. A wine for aging.

So steely and mineral-driven, this is an intensely crisp wine, with concentrated fresh apple flavors over a texture that shows pear skins and orange zest. Acidity and spice combine on the finish.

There’s power in this concentrated wine. The texture is rich, velvet, touched by pepper, ripe acidity and pear skins. Along with its creamy, rounded character, the wine has the bite of tight spice and a dry, firm core.

Concentrated, firm, touched by caramel, this wine starts out intensely fruity. Then texture, mineral and fruit skins come in to play. The wine is impressively complete, its acidity ratcheted up a notch by the fine floral, green and white fruit flavors.

A full, fat style of wine that packs opulent flavors, ripe fruits and smoky aromas. Lime, honey and minerals balance with the crisp acidity. To finish, the wine is soft and rounded.

This is an intense, powerful wine, racy and fresh while also being full flavored and opulent. Exotic perfumes reminiscent of honey and wild flowers waft from the glass.

You can feel the richness of this wine as it rolls opulently around the mouth. The Grüner spice character is dominant, giving intense concentration to go with the yellow fruits. Acidity is a balanced addition to the mix on this impressive wine.

Soft and perfumed, the flavors are elegant but intense at the same time. The acidity gives a great freshness to what is in fact a rich wine, the apple and pear flavors going deep down to the steely core. It would be worth aging this wine—maybe 3–5 years.
