92 from the Wine Review Online:
This is simply marvelous Grüner Veltliner that does everything well: It is wonderfully refreshing and even still almost “crackly” on the palate, yet it has the substance to work well with moderately robust food…no roast chicken is going to push this baby around. It features expressive aromas and flavors reminiscent of pears, tangerines, and green lentils, with a strikingly lively texture.
And 92 from the Austrian Falstaff:
Light yellow green, silver reflections. Delicate passion fruit, a hint of quince, fine tangerine zest, a bit of spice, multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy, elegant, well-integrated acidity, mineral, citrus nuances, fresh pear in the echo, good food wine.
And wine writer Vince Simmon:
Located an hour north of Vienna, the city of Krems has their own winery and their own vineyards that make up Weingut Stadt Krems. Weingut Stadt Krems has been operating wine since 1942 and they make a crisp and delicious Gruner Veltliner. Melon and red apple fruit notes dominate with a light slate minerality and subtle grassy undertone. Gruner’s natural acidity makes it an excellent wine to pair with food.
Best ever at 91 for Suckling, too:
Cool and fresh yet creamy, this gruner has notes of lemon curd, sliced apples and wet stones. It’s medium-bodied, rounded and juicy. Delicious now, so why wait?
We have more of our immensely popular Esterhazy Gruner Veltliner The Kiss on the way, but this one definitely gives it a run for its money.
