Balanced for current drinking, the disparate aromas and flavors of clove, lime, quinine, ginger and nectarine all come together harmoniously in this medium-weight wine. Everything—acids, fruit, alcohol—is well-proportioned and pleasing, maybe just a bit too polite and well-behaved. —J.C.

This rich and full-bodied Grüner pulls no punches, hitting hard with smoke, green pear, honey and peppery spice notes that score big on the long finish. Despite impressive ripeness and 14% alcohol, there’s no apparent heat, just great depth. —J.C.

Sonnhof’s entry-level GV is light, tasting of nothing more than lime and mineral water. It’s clean and fresh, an apéritif wine without a lot of baggage. —J.C.

An interesting contrast to Sonnhof’s Schenkenbichl bottling, this wine’s alcohol content is about 2% lower, making it seem light in comparison. It’s greener and less ripe-tasting as well, but still good, with pea and lime flavors layered over a base of white stone fruits. —J.C.
