Gruner Veltliner, or Gru-Vee, as it has been dubbed, is the latest craze- especially in the wine bars of New York. Its Austrias own white variety: although lots of attention has focused on Austrian Riesling, they actually have an awful lot more Gru-Vee planted (by a factor of 10). Now its rightfully regarded as the centrepiece of Austrias wine industry. With its food friendliness, versatility and in many cases a capacity to gain complexity with age, Gruner looks set to gain more friends. Rhubarb, lime, and blond tobacco, combining exuberant brightness with a sense of sweetness born of sheer extract and a flattering creaminess of texture. A vividly scallop-like saline, savory, sweet character worthy of a great Chablis gives this a mineral dimension that will have you shaking your head in wonder even as you return for the next sip.

" Medium yellow-green. Fascinating nose offers mango and peach complicated by intense notes of honey and flinty minerals. Offers a satin-like texture, with opulent, sweet pineapple and succulent peach flavors dominating. Vibrant acidity nicely leavens the wine's sweetness, contributing to an impression of finesse. Finishes with apple, pear and peach flavors."90/100 Tanzer

"Pale green-yellow. Initially restrained nose shows ripe apple fruit and spicy nuances as the wine opens in the glass. Stylish, vibrant and nicely balanced, with a riesling-like structure. Expect this elegant and refreshing wine to improve with bottle aging."90/100 Tanzer
