The richest of the Gruner Veltliners from the Krems cooperative, this has power as well as the ripest fruit. The flavors are of pear, melon and freshly ground spice, edged with a green apple skin texture. There is depth of flavor, the fruits going right into the core of the wine.——R.V.(11/15/2008)—— 91

A bone-dry, crisp wine, with green pears and only a hint of Gruner’s pepper character. Attractive, creamy and fresh.——R.V.(12/31/2007)—— 87
