Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely aromas and flavours of stone fruit, grapefruit pith, lanolin and candied lemon. Bring this one to the cottage for the dock. 90 Points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale lemon yellow colour. Medium intensity aroma of pears, white peaches, lanolin, and white flowers. The taste of pears and citrus pith are dominant, but you also can sense glycerine in the silky mouthfeel. Long lasting high acidity, making it an excellent companion for firm-flesh fish or seafood dishes. Score 87. (S.Segard, reviewed Jan. 16, 2017.)
Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Grüner can be quite variable. Some are quite light, crisp, and sometimes vegetal. This particular one is fruity, pungent, and smokey.
The colour is a moderately intense lemon-yellow.
It is dry (somewhere around 6-8 grams of residual sugar), but concentrated and full flavoured.
Lanolin, smoke, honey, baked apple, nectarine, and green herbs on the nose.
The flavours lead with the smoke and honey, still. Tons of ripe tropical fruit: ugli fruit, lemon, tangerine, pineapple, sage and basil.
Rich mouthfeel and tons of refreshing acidity.
You can smell this wine before it comes within a foot of your face. Pair it with butternut squash soup and roasted seeds.
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Bright, with floral, pear, nutty notes. Light, simple and fresh. Try with scallop ceviche or tuna crudo.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A delicate Gruner showing refreshing lime and white grapefruit on nose and palate. Enjoy with smoked trout salad.
Tasted Jan. 2017
Colin McKone rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of lemon and black pepper, with the lemon and citrus flavours coming through on the palate as a compliment to the mouthwatering acidity. This is a light bodied and dry wine that can be paired with seafood, soft and white cheese, salads or roasted veggies.

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.
