Acclaim
Best Buy: “Under the guidance of Fritz Meisbauer, this co-op continues to put out a Grüner that ranks as one of the best values on the market. It’s not just its succulent white peach and apricot notes and limey acidity; it’s the wine’s restraint and savor, the way the flavors fall along clean, precise lines. To buy by the pallet.”
— Wine & Spirits, Apr 2015
“Green pear peel and flesh dominate nose and palate and make for a fruit-driven, slender but concentrated white. The melting texture is an added bonus.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2014
