Very mineral in character, this is an elegant and crisp wine. The perfumes are a vivid balance to the fresh green fruits, with a light layer of acidity. Screwcap.

Smells and tastes like a combination of sun-warmed stones and white peaches. It’s round and ripe, showing just a touch of alcoholic warmth on the finish. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Manfred Felsner coaxes the ripest, creamiest character out of Grüner Veltliner. This single-vineyard wine has an almost unctuous, certainly ultra-smooth texture. Yes, there is a touch of spice, the finish has attractive acidity, but that soft floating texture is the hallmark. Screwcap. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Round and plump in the mouth, with aromas of celery greens and flavors of white peaches, citrus and herbs. Soft and a bit warming on the finish. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Starts off with hints of almond that quickly recede to reveal pear and lime scents. The apple, pear and citrus flavors blend harmoniously, ending on a tart, racy note. A bit simply fruity, but elegant and well made. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

The 2004 vintage didn't yield blockbuster Grüner Veltliners, but the lower-level wines seem particularly attractive. This offering boasts a pronounced leafiness, but also ripe, almost honeyed flavors and creamy texture. Some crisp acids on the finish give it the necessary edge to serve as an apéritif or alongside food.

A second bottling of this soft wine, this time with a cork. It has classic pepper and creamy apple flavors and ripeness, the fruit warm, generous, but remaining fresh, just softened with some sweetness to finish.

A rarity, because there are few ice wines made from red grapes. The grape color shows, just, in the pink tinge of the wine, but apart from that it is a super-sweet wine, given the proper orange zest of acidity, but spoilt in its purity by a sweet toffee element.

Makes an interesting contrast to the spice-driven flavors of Felsner’s Vordernberg bottling, by offering honeyed stones and peaches in a medium-bodied format. Finishes with bright notes of citrus zest.

Ripe, creamy style of Grüner Veltliner, with green plums, fresh acidity and just a touch of textured spice. This is a delicious wine, lively but rich, finishing with a great, vibrant aftertaste.
