Craig Haynes rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This single vineyard Grüner Veltliner has a stunning aromatic and textured character that has been encouraged by 8 months lees contact in oak casks. Complex, ripe tropical fruit aromas team up with sweet spice scents to brilliant effect and introduce reserved, pleasing flavours of tropical and stone fruits. But the mouth feel is this wine’s pièce de resistance with its elegantly grippy style and mouth-watering acidity. The finish is minutes long and brims with flavour. The fourth-generation winemakers behind this one have nurtured a beautiful expression of Grüner Veltliner.

Tasted at June 2021’s Austrian Tasting Ontario - Stay at Home edition.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
