* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A freshly perfumed wine, very flowery, structured with minerality and freshened by yellow peaches, dried apricots and tight acidity. To drink now, but could age a few more months in bottle.

A big, super-rich wine that concentrates on its vanilla and spice aspects, the fruit coming through as ripe quince and apricots flavored with pepper. The acidity is muted, appearing only at the end, to give a vibrant lift to this impressive wine. Glass stopper.

Full, soft wine, mouth-filling with its ripe quince, pear and white currant flavors. It shows some young structure, suggesting ageworthiness, while at the same time giving a delicious aperitif style of lifted freshness. Screwcap.

On a Steininger label, Grand Grü means wood aged—in this case large acacia wood barrels. This is a beautifully ripe wine, full-bodied, packed with apricot, pear and richness. There is light sweetness from the richness of the fruit, finishing with vivid spice and lime.

Hints of jalapeñ¯ ¯il and stone fruits mingle easily on the nose of this intriguing wine. On the palate, big, mouthfilling flavors of mineral and peach end on a spicy-peppery note. True to the variety, and possessed of a distinct sense of harmony. Imported by Prescott Wines.

A ripe, fragrant wine that also manages to retain fine crispness. There is some Grüner pepper and spice, but the freshness of the wine allows it to show grapefruit and other citrus characters as well as tense acidity.

Named after the wine museum in Langenlois, the wine is full, bringing out the spice and pepper of the grape, extracting yellow fruits. The finish is more tangy, zesty, bright. Glass stopper.
