Acclaim
“Fresh and crisp, with apple, pear and citrus flavors that feature rich kiwifruit and gooseberry notes. Ends with a spicy finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2011
“The basic Kremstal 2010 Grüner Veltliner nicely restrains its tartly citric and slightly bitterly vegetal elements for an effect that reminds me of rapini and chard drizzled with lemon juice. While less elegant and ingratiating than Miesbauer’s corresponding entry-level wine from Strift Gottweig, this still boasts mouth-filling as well as refreshing virtues.”
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2011
